I an a ATS fan, I have a Stge 2. Had the transmission for about 3k miles with towing my 5th wheel through the rocky mountains and had no issues. Goerend makes a great tranny also. My biggest suggestion is to go with someone close that is the main reason why I went with ATS. ATS is about 45min from me. Good luck.

I did not think that this truck was gonna crap out on me like this but I have been through all the options and everything is pointing to trans issues. I will know by tommorow 100% but I gotta make a trans/converter decision very soon as this truck has to be back on the road ASAP.

I have been very happy with my dtt. Cheaper, GREAT customer service, and I've put 70k on it so far with no issues!

EDIT: Also meant to say that they have a network of installers throughout the USA so I would guess that there would be one pretty close to you- as mentioned above, having someone close is a good thing!

I'm still keeping up with this thread fellas. I believe I am going to look into TRE for some work soon on my pick-ups. I will report back but its gonna take time cause I am on deployment and everything has to be coordinated. Just wanted to thank everyone for the advise thus far.
