[QUOTE="1BROWNWRENCH, post: 1165376, member: 30128"] The downside is the transmission is nearly as large as the engine and it takes 4 times as long to replace the clutch. Plus the extra weight and expense to replace the transmission when it goes. Nowadays when a 5 speed GMC has a tranny failure they don't get fixed or they get converted back to a 4speed from condemned cars. Imagine having to pull a TP60 with one. My driver saved probably an hour total when I convinced the center to give him a hitch equipped diesel that was not pulling anything. [/QUOTE]
