All of them have choke pulloffs that is opens the choke when it is first started. If everything is working correctly and adjusted correctly auto chokes do work. Yes, I was a GM tech when chokes were on everything in the 80's.
I understand if the manual choke is all the way on when you are running it but what about when it is open 1/2 or 3/4? you can easily forget to finish opening it. If you are the only one driving your truck then it is probably no big deal but I can bet if there are multiple users of the vehicle someone will forget to finish opening the manual choke. Just my opinion, its your truck do what ever you want.
