    Anyone have any more info on the auto tranny for 06, I heard that starting in 06 an exhaust brake will no longer void your warenty. Will it still be a 4 speed auto or will they introduce a 5 speed?

    I don't know what the deal on the five speed is....I would venture to say that in a year or two we will see a 5spd auto from them. The big three usually do follow suit. They already have the 545RE, which is a five speed but isn't strong enough to handle Cummins power, it's behind the Hemi in the Power Wagon currently.

    I was thinking it may be nice if they got the Automated Gear Shift trans from Mercedes that is getting put in Sterling trucks and such

    It could replace the manual and automatic. Control your shift when you want or let it do it for you.
