Kind of a reply to two threads... I despise all the BS electronics in the new trucks and really hate the knob shifting. I have a 2012 2500 that has a column shift tranny and a floor shift xfer case. If I am in the woods hunting and start to get stuck, I can rock back and forth with the column shifter. I tried that in a (rented) Jeep with a knob and the computer went crazy. Also the Jeep kept popping in and out of 4x4 (disconnecting the front axle I suppose) instead of staying locked into 4x4. My 2012 also doesn't have the cow **** tank, just plain ol' diesel. It will probably be the last truck I own, not because of my age but because of the simplicity. If I could find an old 1 gen Cummins and figure a way to get it between the front wheels, I would do that and yank out all of the electronics!
