How many Purple Gang members are out there?? Those with ATS driven rides speak up!

Historical Note;
Here in the Detroit area in the early 1900's, a group of enterprising youths on the lower east side took to general thuggery and street crimes, eventually graduating to hijacking, bootlegging, extortion, kidnapping and murder, ruling the Detroit underworld from 1927 to 1932, this loose group of misfits were known as The Purple Gang..


Mike:ro)

I have an ats and can't say enough how freakin awesome it is.

I'll jump on that bandwaggon!!! The ATS is one a$$ kickin tranny, hard shifts even with a big shot of nitrous!!! good enough for 12.3's ;)

I have an ATS tranny and Co-Pilot, by Mike L.
TTS converter.

40,000 miles of beating on this tranny and she still loves me. :D

Truck has 55,000.

I'm waiting for mine,I hope :o:

Went to see Kyle and Matt today at crank it up diesel :ro) . Hope to be a purple gang member this summer... ...then a call to Mr. Cole :muahaha:

Good choice in going with crank it up diesel they did a fantastic job on mine for cheap.

Count me in for the Purple Gang. I installed my ATS about 8-9 months ago and can't believe I waited so long to do it. I have to agree with the fact it clicks off shifts awesome :ro)

Count me in.

I also have some purple parts in my tranny.

More or less. :cool:

im in too!

Chalk me down. Lock it and rock it!:ro)

I saw this and woke up. Here I am. A few clutch packs latter though.

Big 10-4 on the ATS Trans. Come on.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/rockon.gif

All i can say is they make one bad ass tranny! I had some problems with mine in the best but Clint helped me out and treated me good, and now All I can do is hold on and let er go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am, I am :D

lock it and :rockit:

I've got the Suncoast III kit, but added the Co-Pilot and pump upgrade last Friday (big thanks to Mike L.) to add holding power and improve shift quickness. Two days & two trophies later, I have to say well worth the investment. The interesting thing I noticed at the Norcal pulls was the shift speed & early converter lockup really helped get going and keep up the momentum while at partial throttle (slick track). You can hear several trucks fall off the power band between shifts.

Full ATS here and very happy!!!

I've got ATS besides the clutches.

Your going to see alot more of this.Just One of the reason I decided to go full ATS this time.
The Suncoast would shift ok, but draggy in some exchanges.

.............SNIPPED.........

Look for a RED Crew Cab in CT to be running a similiar set-up very soon........:cool:

Should be a very interesting summer............especially when the NOS gets added......:eek:

Was it the Co-Pilot that needed the wire soldered to the gauge cluster? Is that still needed?

You have to solder to the gauge cluster for the Co-Pilot??

What do you think???:cool:
And its going to be refueled and ready to drop a second or so without stripping it down to one seat... soon

You have to solder to the gauge cluster for the Co-Pilot??

I will not be soldering,although it is recomended.

Mac do they have an alternate installation for the green wire? I've put off soldering mine, I know of someone who ruined his dash attempting.. I have a solder tool and an itchy solder finger..

I run mine to a switch instead of the gauge cluster. The switch just needs to be able to ground that wire in order to get into kick a$$ race mode. I also installed an indicator light and use that same switch to run the ground through. So when i flip the switch, the light comes on, and i know the switch is grounding the co-pilot and i'm in race mode. Matt

I had heard that it was just a ground, so it's true.. I may have to do that. I guess I'll just have to be sure I don't leave it on when I stop.. I'm assuming it will stall the motor??

Nope dont worry about shutting it off, it will unlock. You can leave it on all you want, stoplight to stoplight. Matt

Thanks Matt

Toy Fever, where is crank it up diesel located. I'm in central ohio area.

It's the blue wire that gets soldered to the t/h connection on the dash.
mike

They are between North Lewisburg and Marysville. PM Kyle (Kyle03D), or Matt (dpfcummins) they are crank it up diesel. Great guys.... ...answered this boneheads questions and showed me the way it all goes together.

Ah yes, blue. Blue, Green, Orange...I've got so many wires under the dash now it's hard to keep track ):h
