lakingslayer 02-23-2005, 09:49 AM I'd look in the Allison section. Be prepared for a lot of reading. It's not an easy answer. I recommend doing some research before making a decision. Good luck. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rocking.gif JhnZ71 02-23-2005, 09:52 AM Yeah Ive been looking into it for a while now and Im thinking either ATS or Suncoast. lakingslayer 02-23-2005, 10:02 AM I've been leaning to the Suncoast III or IV possibly with a Co-pilot. ATS has some nice upgrades also. At this point I don't think you can go wrong with either one. dmaxalliTech 02-23-2005, 10:08 AM lakingslayer said it right, your not going wrong with either one. A few quotes, may vary slightly, but close SC III installed 3500 SC IV installed 4200 SC V installed 5300 ( complete unit) ATS Full w/c4 and co pilot installed 5400 ATS complete unit w/ co pilot installed 6000 ( complete unit) I figured freight into these quotes, just rough quotes, but gives you an idea.... JhnZ71 02-23-2005, 10:29 AM is the co-pilot alone worth it? tophog 02-23-2005, 10:44 AM I did a lot of reading, research and question asking before making my decision yesterday. Was it the right decision? Ask me in 2 years :) I ordered the SC V ...my price tag will be right at 5500 which includes R/R, fluids and the deep pan option. Shipping alone is the killer on the tranny swap options ...about 250-300 each way ...but no getting around it. However with that shipping for the SC 5 you get the 2 year warranty on the tranny and 3 year on converter whereas with the SC 4 kit you have to have it installed by your installer and there is no warranty unless the installer offers one. SC won't warranty the kit. I was contemplating buying a UPS jet and shipping the trannies myself but after weighing the cost of the jet, price of jet fuel and considering I would only use the jet twice I decided against it. :) I couldn't have made my decision without all the expert advice/knowledge on this forum. I can't thank the guys enough ... well maybe after I get the tranny installed and a TTS Extreme :) as long as it's before my credit card statement arrives. Good luck. lakingslayer 02-23-2005, 12:50 PM is the co-pilot alone worth it?
