Major Transmission Issue

The auto trans in this truck is causing me serious headaches. The lack of a clutch is giving my wife the impression she can take my truck whenever she wants now. She actually prefers it to her accord. Do you think there is possibly a flash or app to prevent this? Just kidding my wife is awesome and makes my truck look even better.

I am lucky. My wife still prefers her sporty little Suburban to my CC LB.

The only way I can convince my wife to drive this truck is if we get stranded in the truck somewhere's, where I'm unable to drive (injuried or exhausted). Its a good thing she has only needed to drive it 1 or 2 times since I got it, but wish she was open to driving it more.

The only time my wife doesn't want to drive ours is in the mountains pulling the trailer and that's when it's the most fun as far as I'm concerned. She can drive the boring roads and I will drive the fun ones.

My wife loves the back up camera and being able to see over others in traffic. I believe the traction and stability control is perfect for unsure drivers. I think it should default to off though because it really takes the entertainment out of winter driving.

Thanks for the laugh mutt. Just make her pay for any gas she burns, that should discourage her.

Man I would love to have a manual tranny behind the 6.2 in my truck. With the RPM's this "big block" is capable of it would be a fun ride!
