Gasser tranny hold up behind Cummins?

[argve]

Ok here is the gig... I love my Cummins but I need more room in the inside for the kiddies and pooch... I'm thinking of either chopping up my current ride for the engine to stuff into a Burb or find one already done up and running... But my question is will the gasser auto tranny that chevy puts out hold up and if not what should I consider...

In my opinion, NO!

Its a nice idea but every automatic shared between gas and diesel has beefier guts on the diesel. If you keep your foot out of it it should be fine for a while

You did see who made the post, correct?

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Travis yet, but his driving habits proceed him!!!

With a torque convertor swap and a transgo kit it may last for a while. The problem is that the shafts can't hold much lowend torque... Maybe suncoast or someone could set you up with one to hold, but I bet it would be some $$$.

True! I have had the pleasure of meeting the above mentioned and I dont think there is a snowballs chance that the foot would be left out of the go pedal for very long

Go to 4BTSWAPS.com and look around for tranny recommendations for your engine. They also cover the tranny buildups. This forum is initially for Cummins 4BT & 6BT engine swaps, but they also have other engine swaps they follow.
