The forum talks about the 6 spd. but no mention of the 5 spd. Is it stronger or dose it have its weak points too. Any comments about 5 spd. vs 6 spd.? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

as soon as you order a stick shift with the Duramax, you automatically get the 6 speed. I don't think GM puts the 5 speed on anything bigger than the 6.0L gasser. Besides, don't you know, 6 is always better than 5? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

My bad.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif I thought the 5 spd. was standard, and the 6 was an option. Thanks for the help Zorganov.
