Here is a quick rundown of scheduled product changes for the 2010 SD's. As you will see, the engine/transmission choices have become a little confusing. My apologies to all the handshaker purists, but its truely looking to be the beginning of the end for the manual transmission...

Why would this info be out already? I didn't see any reference to the 6.7 diesel or 6 speed torque shift.

 

if navistar is truely gone, this does not ring true!!!

 

The 6.7 and 6 speed TorqShift will not be introduced until the 2011 model year which is planned to be introduced in January of 2010. Just as the 08's were introduced in January of '07. The 2010 SD's will still have the 6.4L and 5-speed TorqShift. '10 Job 1 is scheduled for mid May of '09 and will run thru December of '09.
