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.
Mostly agree. Regardless of gears you still need the same HP/TQ to climb a mtn or cruise the interstate.
However an 8sp or 10 speed will have better spacing between gears and allow the vehicle to maintain speeds easier without lugging or over revving.
