Re: Best auto trans for Cummins?

It depends how much money you want to spend and how you want it to drive. Buying an adapter and trans controller for the 4L80E will run from $2000-$2500 depending who you get it from. The trans will need a heavier torque converter, and at least a good rebuild minimu. You can use a dodge 47rh and the over drive and lock up can be controlled by a dodge pcm, toggle switches, or pressure switches. You can use the dodge engine adapter and flex plate so cost there is less. The trans will need a heavier duty torque converter as well, and a rebuild. You'd need a tcase with a 23 spline input to work with the dodge trans as well. So, it really just depends on what you want to spend and such.
