I've read the comments and I am not trying to sway you either way, diesels are cool, but if we are talking Cummins as the others don't offer a manual transmission then please do some research on the 4th gen Cummins, they are not like the 1st and 2nd gen trucks of the past. Sure there was a way to make the 2010/2012 trucks run properly but that has almost disappeared and for the 2013/14's there is NO programmer available. The ECM went from 72 pin to 96 pin so there may never be anything available then you are stuck with what it is, which might work for you if you live in a reasonably warm climate. It's not about coolant temp or transmission temp its all about EXHAUST gas temp and remember the manual trans has no hi idle and to get the exhaust brake on you have to push the button every time you start it. For the people that say there is no problem with the 2010/12 Cummins they have never had their intake manifold off to see how much carbon is in there or almost plugged it is. I also think that what some people consider "cold" is a nice mild day.
