Another 6.6 gas question
I've really been curious about this engine. I know they should have put the ten speed with it but I'd bet the six speed works pretty good. I don't see any indications that the ten will be hooked to it...

I don't get the 10 speed OCD discussions. I drive a different truck every day at work, all 3 US flavors and probably almost every combination at one time or another. Unless your always in Flatlands running empty/not towing and going for squeezing every last drop for fuel mileage, all those extra gears are wasted fluff. In hill country loaded or towing you'll never be up in them much if at all and it does not matter what is in front of the tranny. More gears = more heat and more parts to wear.
I agree on most of what you are saying but the 10 speed has 7 gears before it hits the overdrives. I went from a 6.0 4 speed to my 5.3 8 speed and its always got the right gear for towing. So I would rather have the 10 than the 6 but if its not available then I may end up with the 6 speed. It has 4 gears before the 2 over drives.
