Best transmission for 5.9 Cummins

<< < (2/6) > >>

rcampbell:
I was hoping to use either the 4L80E I got free, or use the 47RE that is coming on the cummins I bought. Since I'm using a 24v cummins, I'll need some electronics either way. Might look into upgrades for valve body and torque converter etc?

JR:
If your 4L80E is a 91, they are supposed to have a stand alone PCM.

Still have to check mine out since I have a 91 V2500 with that. Might make a few $$$ more that way. Don't want any PCM in my Burb though.

rcampbell:
I *think* my 4L80E is a '92, but I could be wrong. Is there a way to verify it by serial number, or can I tell just by looking at it?

Farmer Jon:
Why not an Allison? We have a 97 FL60 freightliner with the same exact engine as our 97 dodge 3500. The Freightliner has a Allison. I don't know why you couldn't put that in a dodge. If you are even thinking about an a Eaton I would go Allison. I cant say from personal experience but people I know that have had both prefer the Allison.

cudakidd53:
I think the only trade-off, is the Allison requires lots of electronics........
