Been wantin a 12 valve for a while and found one, price is decent and milage is ok (~150k). But it has an auto in it. I am no stranger to cummins as my bro has owned three 12 valves, I have wrenched on a few 24 valves, and my grandpa has owned about 5 12 valves. out of all of those three of the 12 valves and 1 of the 24 valves have been autos and we have had royal hell with them. The 12 valves would always drop od or have a bad tps which burnt the torque converter up in one of them. Are these common problems for the automatics or have we just had some strange beasts. I could swap a standard into it but that would add up to a little more cash than I would wanna spend
