My auto coupled behind that cummins in my '02 2500 4x4 extended was rebuilt at 25K (lost 2 - 5), and those were easy miles. Truck has 48K on it now, and I have yet to miss a scheduled maintanence at the Dodge guy's place. Is a nice truck and that cummins can surely pull, but the autos on Dodge 4x4s are a weak link. 10 year 100K bumper to bumper including drivetrain, and the Dodge guy gave me no problem and asked no questions. I've got a '96 manual with 225K on it that gets used every day and has yet to have a problem. I have a customer that has a fleet of 360 2500 regular 4x4s equipped with the same auto and they've gone through the same exact problem on half of theirs as well, and they are lite duty as well - pretty much only used for safety safari vehicals at a race track - that's pretty lite duty if you ask me. My guess is as manufacturers must raise the fuel milage, and weight gets cut, so does duarability (any manufacturer). Nice trucks otherwise. Go with the manual, or go with an aftermarket build on the auto, says I. Mark
