i will never support ats, not specifically for their products, but for the way they do business. call mike l. and he will take care of you, whether with one of his custom kits, or with a suncoast setup.

this is the reason i will not support ats, but as always draw your own conclusions and not what the general consensus it on the board.

Where do you live? Mike L. on the west side of the country, George AKA on here as Big Dipper on the East Coast are the guys that I would personally consult before making any decisions.
Personally, after buying ATS' 5 star and seeing how noisey it is, I wouldn't recommend that converter to anyone as a daily driver. Also that DPF thing they pulled was horsepoop and another reason I won't support them anymore.
But to each his own-buy what works best and fits your needs the most.

Suncoast is having problems with their converters locking up and the warrenty sucks. Go with something else.
That sucks..
Just bought a Stage IV / 1056..
I think it's mainly a issue with the 1058's...
Like has already been mentioned, it doesn't like to lock. It's a little too loose or something.
Sorry but I would rather have it hold up than have to pull it and send it back for "hassle free" warranty work all the time. ATS is having problems with their clutches delaminating, maybe they should leave putting clutch material on to the pros instead of trying to do it in house to save a buck?

your setup will be great... the SC IV/1056 is a great proven combination. You will be very happy
Hold up? ok
Lets have it hold up and not work correctly
Lets sell something to these guys that might not work....I know of a few guys who are using the Altos with the ATS 3 disc converter and having luck.
ATS warrenty is pretty good, had a guy break down last month 200mi from his house, ATS sent him a trans AND paid all labor to have the trans installed for the customer.
Yes, ATS used to have problems with the clutch material delaminating years ago. Old news...
Whats wrong with ATS making there own clutches in house? They have more surface area than the Suncoast plates and i have had great luck with mine. I have ran BOTH trannies in my truck. Have you?
I simply told the guy to go with something else because of the current SC TC issues.......

I totally agree...My 1057 has never skipped a beat in 45,000+ miles...I run a conservative 500 rwhp through my SC3 unit built in Inglewood...I drive hard, but it always shifts on time, always locks up on time, and I'm horrible about changing filters...
Hope Mike L. doesn't read this
Well there is a guy here with a white ext cab LLY and he has ATS extreme trans he sent off to crank it up diesel or danville performance one I really cant remember and it costed 6 plus thousand dollars to have it built and he is so sick of that thing it says it skips gears and when he hammers it, the trans goes crazy he has it for sale now cause he put his truck on the dyno made 485 rwhp and almost didnt even make it home. So when ever I get my money to spend on my trans upgrade im calling ROB and getting a suncoast stage 4
I'm sure there's more to that story. I for one am with NWTDiesel. ATS takes care of their customers and builds an awesome trans.
I dont see why he would lie about it i can get his number if you want it since its so good you can buy a allison to fit that cummins
Some like ATS and some likw Suncoast.......
Who cares.
Every trans thread turns into a ATS/Suncoast bashing battle. It gets old.
If you want Suncoast then go for it. If you want ATS then good for you.
I know of a guy that knows of a guy who heard his buddys suncoast was not locking up....:rofl: Lots of false stories floating around out there i guess.
