I just never liked the feel of starting in second. To me, it always required more revs working on the clutch disc to get the truck rolling at the same time trying to avoid the chatter. I just figured in the long run, the clutch would last a little longer. Granted, I too would make it to the middle of an intersection before having to shift up, but I just grew accustomed to it I guess.
Also, AW- I was cut short this morning because I was needing to get to work, but I'd like to offer my appologies to you in case you felt my typing was a little sharp. Again, I love to help out by offering a suggestion to every situation if it is one that I had trouble with in the past; in hopes of making life a little easier for someone else. But I can see where just a simple choice of typewritten words could be misunderstood.
