If it broke (or didnt lock) ATS would have you another converter for free.
Give what a rest? I am pretty sure I know how a converter works. You dont need to single me out and start on me. And, Actually it is the converter as Mike said with his own words the day we talked about it. He said "Mike (me), we didnt see this comming. The ML has no issues like the SC converter"
So are you calling out Mike L now? Mike L, do you remember telling me this on here???
You mean Mike L. right, because I think i am being nice.
And for the record, I have never seen SC say you need a special controller or tcm tuning for this product to work correct...If so I wouldnt have purchased.
You may know how a converter works, but you obviously don't know how the TCM works. Again, the problem is the TCM. Maybe Mike said "we didn't see this coming" because he/they expected that the converter would keep the slip withinn the TCM's limits and allow it to lock when it "should". Why do you think it'll lock up when the TCM is overridden with a lockup controller? If the problem was in the converter, it wouldn't lock even with a lockup controller. The TCM just isn't commanding lockup.
I'm sure if ATS or Precision built a looser converter with similar specs to one of the SC converters that "has the problem". it would have the same "problem".
You guys ALL act like your 12! Both can and has served people well. Run what you fill has the best support/service in your area. This is a no win for everyone. Act your ages not like some school girl's! Jeff
So your saying that there are handfulls of bad TCM's all over the country? All these guys having SC lock up issues need new TCM's eh?
Thats not the problem.
Evryone STFU... I have a precision converter an love it! It's the best everyone go buy one now!. Jk carry on

EVERYONE has the same TCM programming; EVERYONE has that table buried in there (that we can't get to); Answer this one: If the CONVERTER is the reason it won't lock up, WHY will it lock on command when you OVERRIDE THE TCM with a lockup controller? The answer is theTCM WILL NOT COMMAND IT becasue the "extra" slip is pissing it off.
For the record, I don't have a Suncoast converter or trans; I have a Precision ML converter and a kit provided by Mike L. There is nothing Suncoast or ATS in my truck.
yes, we know that the TC isnt commanding lockup. you are posting nothing new. The point is that it only happens with the SC converters. Why? How about you use all your trans. wisdom and answer that question for everyone on the board that is having issues?
Your truck has never put down the power to experience this issue, you have never ran a SC converter, IMO why the hell are you in this thread when you really have no clue whats going on? How about solutions from you rather than telling me that my SC is supposed to be like this. Are you saying you could have told me I would have needed a lockup controller back when Mike built my trans? Where were you then? Also you officially are now going against Mike L's recommendation to me back in the day that the SC was a bad choice and he should have installed a Precision or ATS because there specs were better than of the SC???
Mike L, why dont you have this guy working for you. apparently he knows the SC converter issue and he sounds like he can be an ASSet the the situation???
Now I am pissed off. I was only in here because we were discussing the SC issue and apparently I am being told I basically should have known this would happen to my converter, and I was steered in the wrong direction on converter selection. I thought I went to the best Allison builder but this guy is telling me "someone" sold me a converter that doesn't have the specs i am looking for...Capitol WTF???
Evryone STFU... I have a precision converter an love it! It's the best everyone go buy one now!. Jk carry on
x2 :spit:
Both of you guys are still in the 13s, of course your converters are holding up.
J/K guys
