: Is one better than the other? Kappa9012 07-11-2005, 02:16 PM As far as ATS or Suncoast is one better than the other, or does one have an edge over the other? Just curious what drives everyone decision on which one to get. Also what is your average out of pocket cost for just the tranny. Suncoast says 4300 on their site, but is the cost of the core included in that? lakingslayer 07-11-2005, 02:25 PM I'm going to go pop some popcorn and get some beer.:drinking: Do a search. There is a lot of reading about both. I say you can't go wrong with either one IMHO. Whatever you do get a larger tranny upgrade than you think you need now. Mike L. 07-11-2005, 02:35 PM Either company will make you happy. You can't go wrong whichever decision you make between the two. mike Kappa9012 07-11-2005, 03:14 PM It seemed that both are extremely reputable. I feel like a moron for asking, but if the price shows 4300 and says it has a 1200 core, does that mean I pay 5500 and they refund the 1200 when they get the tranny back from me? Max Power 07-11-2005, 03:17 PM Yes that is how a core charge works. Max Payne 07-11-2005, 05:39 PM As long as it is a good core...

Mackin 07-12-2005, 06:13 AM The ATS handles the big power better and is in the fastest Duramax! I have found the ATS to be very tame and drivable on the street.But when you want the shifts to be lightning fast just click on the Co-pilot and hang on. Most 500 hundred HP Duramaxes if not all equipped with a Suncoast (they ALL wont come forward for ?) have installed a ATS Co-Pilot.Some even under that plateau. I have had both and prior to my problems the Suncoast was good but not as good as the ATS in shift quality for every day driving. I am quite surprised of the differences of out of the box transmissions.ATS has been dedicated to making the Allison superior.They are still developing products today to keep us competitive and winning. :thumb: Good luck which ever you chose. gtmax 07-12-2005, 07:35 AM Mackin - Who has the fastest Duramax? What times are they turning? Are they on nitros/propane? Are they really competitive with the Dodges? Since you've switched to the ATS/Co-pilot what improvements did you realize on your 1/4 mile times? Sorry for all the questions--but I've just got to know. Thanks:) Mackin 07-13-2005, 05:45 AM NLDP ET 11.07@123.32 I have no data for you to compare on the Suncoast as it failed in practice But this I'll tell you is the ATS shifts cleaner and faster, you can come to your own conclusion. ;) dmaxalliTech 07-14-2005, 07:53 PM Both makes excellent products and both will work well for you. sdaver 07-14-2005, 08:15 PM I really like my suncoast and have had great service from them.............my suncoast tranny now resides in my o4 lb7 and has a 111,000 miles combined(02/04)it has been updated from a 3 to a level 5 over the course of those miles ...glad you like the ats GMC-2002-Dmax 07-14-2005, 08:18 PM I really like my suncoast and have had great service from them.............my suncoast tranny now resides in my o4 lb7 and has a 111,000 miles combined(02/04)it has been updated from a 3 to a level 5 over the course of those miles........................glad you like the ats Glad to hear you like your SUNCOAST..........
