I bought (2) 3/4 ton "diesel pu's", (new) with the same engine, but ones an auto tranny the other is a manual tranny. I have been useing both for pulling loads, sometimes quite heavy loads. At 90,000 miles the auto went out, big bucks for a rebuild, as i couldn't do it my self!!! At 180,000 miles i replaced the clutch on the manual tranny pu, and it still wasn't slipping or acting up. I replaced it because i was going to pull a big load 4,500 miles over the ALCAN hiway, and didn't want to take a chance on haveing a problem on that road. Best part is, i did it my self, and it wasn't all that expensive. This pu now has 199,200 miles on it, and the tranny is still origional. Infact, i just got back from pulling a load with it, 800 miles. BTW, the auto has a big Haden tranny oil cooler, and was kept serviced!!! Two weeks ago my Caprice Classics auto tranny started slipping. It also has a tranny cooler, and also has been kept serviced. It has 158,000 miles on it. It's never been abused or pulled any kind of a load! Learn how to use, instead of "abuse" a clutch, and it will easily out last an auto tranny!! Robert
