Default 4.8's with manual transmissions

Just curious, it seems like just about all of the trucks out there have some kind of stall. Mostly because they are 5.3's and I guess they didn't offer manual trannys with that motor. How many of you guys have a 4.8 motor with a manual transmission?

I had a 4.8 / 5 speed. I don't think they offered a 5.3 with the manual, I tried several times to order one and had several dealers say they didn't make that combination.

Yes had same problem. Also I wanted a Sierra originally and in 2001 GMC didn't offer a manual trans on either V8 in the 1500.

They didn't offer anything like that around here,(Arkansas) and I tried several times in 99 to order a 5.3 with a stick. Not saying you are misinformed but it would be nice to see a copy of a window sticker.
