Tranny??

[Big K]

BTW CSIPSD, Do you have a ATS?

 

[Big K]

Also,

A few members know on here that My BTS has failed before, but I push BTS because AFTER the sale and how everything is AFTER the fact.

(PLUS the tranny ROCKS )

Also,

I can give you quite a few names that have been UPSET with both ATS and MB Trannies, and they all end up going with BTS,Suncoast, John Wood, Richter69 or others that are known.

Can't give ya a SINGLE name that is UPSET OR MAD about EVER buying anything from BTS, If they are out there it is NEWS to me.

 

[CSIPSD]

Nope I ain't saying that Brian is the only one that can work on them.

I have seen more than a few ATS trannies DIE and that are poorly made!!!
(Fail because poorly put togeather and bad parts used)

And I have "HEARD" about MB trannies, and a few people that are having a hard time getting warrenty work done on them.

But ATS, BTS, MB and Suncoast are the MAJOR players in the E40D, 4R100 Tranny builders, and probably the most known.

But I will throw out other names.

I have heard good things from JOHN WOOD in CA and Richter69 in OK

ANd out of those trannys, how many were not repaired? How many were not taken care of... MB is a tough one, there CS sucks I will agree.

ATS????

At least few I know of did not warrenty because they thought they abused THEM!!!!

BTS tells ya to GIVE THEM ALL YA GOT!!!!



Here is a quote from ATS Warrenty on their Transmissions.

Here comes another BTS bandwagon.... I am so sick of it... Done now...hum... Thanks...

i give for suncoast, my buddy has a stage IV in his duramax, and it does not lead an easy life, not a single problem with it...

 

[CSIPSD]

And no, I do not have an ATS, As I said... I gave a local guy a chance to build mine, He did it once is failed, did it again, it failed, third time he got it right. I know of three people in Bend that run ATS trannys, NO ISSUES... Must be a fluke

Been towing with it for 50,000 miles, hard on the 125 setting with 30% water-meth, several dyno pulls, and a Lead foot daily driver... I am happy, like I said its a learning process to build....

I agree that Brian has great CS, but how many trannys are out there with his name?

Compare that to ATS, Monster, Suncoast....

More than you think

Almost all the HIGH HP Diesels have them, even on the CUMMINS side!

With a few Suncoasts and John Woods thrown in

Can't think of any HIGH HP that has a ATS or MB in it on the PSD side, I know of a few on the cummins side, (speaking in terms full race/comp trucks, which would VOID ATS warrenty, and having problems gettting any warrenty on MB side)

You put enough power to ANY Transmission, It will BREAK.

NO, NOT EVEN BTS, is Bulletproof

 

[CSIPSD]

Let me think of one... The fastest 7.3... Snow white... ATS tranny... bbunting, one if not the highest HP 7.3 ATS tranny... Hum...

 

[Big K]

Yeap, Forgot about David, He ran Suncoast for LONG time,
But is a dealer of ATS now. Hum...

BBunting aint' the highest 7.3, many are higher, And I thought He was running Suncoast???? or his own???
