6 Speed Manual Owners Unite!

I'm gonna try doing that on the weekend. Thanks I appreciate your help

 

Did you install it yourself? If so was it pretty simple?

 

I did it with the help of a good friend who is a heavy equipment mechanic, and also has access to a lift.



It's not too difficult of a job, but a little "know-how" and a helping hand goes a long way.

 

I see you're in Vegas, so when its time to upgrade mine, maybe you can come give me some pointers!!!

 

Yep, if I'm around I'll help you.

 

Love my 6 speed MT as well. Only thing I'm jealous of the 3rd generations is their transmission Gear Ratios. I want two ODs, and for my final OD to be at a lower ratio. Since recently installing a SC on the truck, I've changed how I drive the thing. And now with the lower end Torque, my shift points are lower than what it was NA. Shift around 1200 rpms now, and my fuel efficiency is the same, if not slightly better. (except when I accelerate hard )

 

You go with the BD tune or the TRD reflash?

 

BD (Magnuson's Tune) No problems what so ever

 

Bringing this thread back to life. Lets see those 6 speeds. Heres mine.. magnuson s/c'd, meth injection, 2.5" s/c pulley, walbro 255, full headers/ypipe/catback, 4.10 gears, URD intake, URD stage 3 clutch & lighweight flywheel, SOS performance lowering kit

 

My '06 AC 6 speed and my fathers '10 DC 6 speed. We like our manual trucks!

 

You had it dyno'd?

 

No sir.. but based on Mass air flow, im guessing its somewhere around 350rwhp and 375rwtq.

Heres a dyno sheet from someone with similar mods but only 8.5lbs of boost. Im guessing mine would be a little better than this, as i have 10lbs of boost. i am too paranoid to let someone else drive it to get it dynod. I cringe everytime someone drives off in it for the yearly inspection. Im super ocd about it

 

Magnuson supercharger, 2.3 quick change pulley, Roostfactor's pulley wrap kit, battery relocation to behind rear passenger seat and larger supercharger intercooler reservoir mounted where battery used to be, higher flow s/c coolant pump, Aquamist HSF-3 methanol injection system, clutch accumulator delete, Core/Hurst T-handle short throw shifter, AEM afr and oil pressure gauge, black cat customs gauge cluster faceplate, URD Walbro fuel pump, UPR catch can, JustDSM HPTuner'd, Bullydog Gt platinum digital gauge, Grillcraft upper and lower billet grill, locking tailgate, bakflip Hd, black heated leather, Stealth Custom Series dark bronze F5 rims, Nokian Rotiiva 265/70r17, Up2NoGood's heated mirror kit.

 

Looking good man! Your truck is a sleeper

Im still contemplating that 2.3.. Need to get some other supporting mods installed before then though.

 

It's my precious lol. Your chariot is no joke either, I still am on stock clutch and haven't touched headers or exhaust yet so I'm envious of that.

 

How long have you been supercharged? Before doing headers and exhaust I'd budget for that. Mine didn't last long after adding the s/c. Once you get around to doing headers and exhaust you will love the way the truck runs! I didn't realize you still had all your cats. How much boost does your truck make?

 

Yup clutch and lighter flywheel are in my future although I'm currently under a very limited budget. Clutch has been holding up fairly good but I've had slip a more than a few times under heavy acceleration. No idea on actual boost as I never bothered with a boost gauge. It seems like a somewhat arbitrary number with all the factors of elevation, weather, air density, temp, etc. that contribute so it never ended up high on my priority list.

 

I just bought a 2015 6 speed manual. I searched the whole US to find the lowest mileage 2nd gen manual. I plan on supercharging this beast so a 3rd gen was not an option.

 

I'd like to go supercharged, one day. Give me time to finish my fenders.

 

What type of fuel map are you running? I'd like to get the TRD fuel map and run a 2.85. However, I heard that some dealerships won't install the magnuson kit. I thought about getting hp tuners module but then I would still have to dyno it and that will cost more.
