Good choice. 2 year warranty is hard to beat.

Whats the deal with ATS? The prices are comparable with Suncoast and they come with a 5year 100,000 warranty. I have not heard anything good or bad?

Seems that ats transmissions have gone way downhill. I know several people with ats transmissions... 2 of them fought to give them back. Another truck has been down for quite some time due to trans problems. Not a good deal, and they seem to try like hell to deny your warranty. I personally have not had good dealings with them.

my elite trans was previously a ATS trans, if that tells you anything.

What does that mean? You had an ATS trans before before going with an Elite trans this time around?

O2ShootTheJ · Sep 4, 2011

No. it means someone else bought an ATS trans and ended up sending it in to elite as a core. Theres purple under my orange.

Guess I should edit my last post... lol. Believe me.... it wouldnt be the first purple core at Elite... wont be the last either.

ATS doesnt like to honor there warrantys so thats the mai reason id steer clear of one of there transmissions, I have one of there 5 star converters in my truck though and havnt had any issues, it locks up like a son of a bitch though, more aggressive then the standard suncoast as I understand, durapad guys like them because of that. Im gonna get flamed for this but i think they make a damn good converter (flame suit on)

Wow

This thing is so ridiculously fast.... That it's ridiculous! Still no dyno numbers, due to still running the stock trans, however.... We got a plan to remedy that as well..... More to follow next week........

Boostfed · Sep 7, 2011

Lol, I'm pretty excited to see that hot rod again! We dont usually get to see big builds back at the shop! Ready to see these wheels on this thing! Gonna be an animal looking hot rod!

That thing sounds like a 6.4 should sound....for the power these things make. I think I just found my second project for my new garage. The dyno numbers will put the nail in the coffin and seal the deal. She is gunna kill me.......

Awesome looking truck and good luck, Rudy's never disappoints, always top notch. Nice to see everyone over here.

this was a few miles from my house. just returned to NC from FL. bored..... lol!

also, no high power runs (no HOT DAMN setting launches, only on WILD) and no boosted launches until the new trans goes in...
