Kansas when I am home
Hey guys I have asked this at all the other sites too, my Alli is getting ready to give up the ghost soon, so I want to do a Suncoast IV I have leaning toward goin with Merchant seein as they seem to be about the closest shop to me. I live in NE Kansas so I am tryin to find someone near by. Does anyone know of someone close bye OK TX. I know ATS is out in Colorado but seein as they seem to be to busy to ever answer any PM's or emails I am assumeing they have all the businues they want. I just know I will be comein home to stay here sometime next year so the truck will be beet on every day, and I would like to not have to defuel so hard for my shifts, then limp if a forget which tune is in. Any help would be great.

And yes I screwed up the title of this thread the D button doesn't work well so no-one can pick on me for that.

If you are very mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself. Pulling the trans is by far the worst part of the job, IMO.

Big Dipper and Mike are both great, but there are others out there with skill. The guys down at SC are an example.

I can. :D
I have fixed transmissions for SC,ATS. BD and almost every builder out there. You would not believe the tech calls I take every day for problems.

As far as being all over the internet mister; look at most of my posts. they are geared to fix problems. I post when I'm needed so you can cut the BS.
If you have a trans guy that is good stay with him; you are in good hands.:D

You have your opinion now this is mine... I don't have lots of money to do things over twice I know Mike L is one of the best Allison builders in the country. I have not had personal experience with George but coming from Mike L he is next to none. Personally I wouldn't trust a Diesel shop to build an Allison unless they are known... You think Mike L just installs the Suncoast kit the way the instructions tell you? Mike L is the best because he tweaks each transmission to according to his discoveries of what works and what doesnt.

Just curious you say there are lots of Allison builders that aren't on the internet ok well then how do they know what works and what doesn't? Mike has done more Allisons than anyone builder has... Anyone that builds engines, transmissions, or any serious component of our trucks are doing you a SERIOUS! disservice by not being on the internet hounding every site, thread, and new idea that is being asked or discussed. If everyone just installed everything the way the manufacture said to do then we would have never figured out how to make things last.
