12V98 saying you don't need more gears is based on your subjective opinion, but you don't have anything to compare your 6 speed against. You might just find that the pickup runs better with it (I don't know if you would admit that, but it just might). I would at least give yourself some room to acknowledge that the 9 speed, if that is what comes, might be of benefit. What if it made a good pickup, even better? You don't know, what you don't know.
Right?
After almost 15 years with Cummins Powered trucks and more with a couple Dmaxes and plenty of gasser truck miles thrown in for good measure, there is not a single engine today in a light duty truck that would benefit more from more gears than a Cummins.
Is it doing the job and doing it pretty darn well with 6 gears? For sure, not debatable. Would the truck with the lowest total rpm operating range benefit from shorter gear splits? Uhhh, yeah....
What pulls better? A semi with 10 speeds or 18 speeds?
