2003 chevy 6.0 gas to cummins

It's very hard to get a reason for something like that, I guess because people just keep repeating "Suchandsuch transmission just won't live behind X engine" because that's what they've been told... Kinda becomes "common knowledge", even though most of the people spouting it don't know why, and probably haven't tried it.

The only thing i can see for gm transmissions is that most gm engines idle at 900-1000 rpm and cummins is building so much torque my 1000-1500 that the trans isnt building enuff pressure to function and lock clutches enough, but the allisson come on it was designed to be behind that engine in a much heavier vehicle ... Alot of guys on youtube running 6bt with turbo400 beating the snot out of them i was thinking this route at one time and still do .. Thank u for your time and reply i really want to complete the swap

It should work, it doesn't take alot to get an Allison to squeeze into a 1500hd so a dodge trans will surely fit.

I think the non-electronic trans makes your life easier.
I would use as much of that Dodge as possible for the swap... including the front axle for SFA (HD steering, a good tracbar, & Ford hubs/shafts cures the usual ailments).

Can you elaborate on the ford hubs and shafts? Reason for using ? Will it elimanate cad? Also years to use for non abs. Thank you for reply

Basic unit-bearing elimination:
-----------------------------
Ford bearing hubs, locking hubs, & spindles from a '78-97 Dana 60 or '80-97 Dana 50ttb
Ford stub axles from '78-97 Dana 60
Ford 78-79 F250 rotors
CAD delete (optional):
---------------------
Ford Superduty 99-04 (Dana 60) long side axle shaft... its a touch short, but it works.
35-spline side gear
...
If you want the other side to be 35 spline too, get two side gears and a 78-79 Ford Dana 60 short side and trim it about 1/4".
