how do you guys feel about the 3.0's automatic in a crawler? i dont know if i like the idea of the automatic over the 5 spd the problem is the rig i have has the auto in it and i want to build it but need input brfore i start anything

[bigarms23]

i think it will be fine running an auto and you still add dual cases

i like to hear that but the dual cases wont come until later i have 5:29's to run in it

i heard that with duals and 5.29's when u hit the brakes, the tranny wont let go, and u gotta throw it into neutral everytime

x2.  I've heard this too.  You either have to get bigger brakes, throw it in neutral or get a higher stall speed torque converter.

a stall converter seems like it would fix the problem
