I have an ATS, but any of the good tranny makers will work. Look for someone near you. Mine handles me beating on it with 600+ hp...

 

What's an ATS? I know that may be an **** question but I'm old school and just starting to learn about these beasts......Appreciate the patience.....

 

No worries...

Let me try to go a little deeper...

There are a few folks that build aftermarket trannys. ATS, Gorend, HTS, and Suncoast are a few. You order the trans that you want from them, and when you install it, you send your old one back. You can order one to fit your needs, but usually, bigger is better. For example, I ordered an ATS stage 4 trans, but shortly after I got my turbo in, I broke the stock output shaft. DOH! that comes billet with a stage 5...

I would look around your area and see if any of the major dealers are near you. If not, try to find a local dealer that sells and warranties a transmission that you like.


I would go over to the 3rd gen high performance section and throw a post up... something along the lines of "what kind of tranny do I need"... let us know what you want to do with the truck, and what your ultimate goals are.

Google ATS diesel performance, and look around. It will give you an idea of one tranny company. I'm not trying to preach or sell them, it's just what I have...

Some people just do a valve body and Torque converter, but I say unless you're only going to add 50 hp, don't do this... bite the bullet and drop the coin.

HTH...

 

Thanks again for all the info. There is a dealer here and I will check them out and let you know.

Take care
Tom

 

Which company?

No problem! Learn from my mistakes...

 

Diesel Specialists Inc here in Vegas

 

Do they build the tranny? Who's parts do they use?

 

Dunno, but I plan to check them out soon and will let you know........

 

I know why my light came on I put a new Edge Juice on to replace my old one. I can't for the life on me remember how I got the light off last year when I installed the first one. Any ideas??

 

Sorry Danh, but the light went out after a little while and I figure that it was resetting itself.......
