like i said before, i love every part of my tranny. when i did mine a year and 4 months ago, mike l. said not to get the 1058 cuz it was a really harsh convertor, but also cuz the 1056 would work better for my use esp with 35's.

all i can say once again is mike has helped me out in every way possible and it has always benifited me:)

Sounds just like Tommys Suncoast converter.... revs to 4000 rpm too.

They all have issues sooner or later...

I bet you can get the ATS warrentied atleast.

I have no doubt the wrong converter in a truck will give poor results. Not bashing the brand. Not saying they should warranty it. It locked hard when it locked. Pretty sure it's the TCC slip issue in the TCM.

Just don't go saying "if it doesn't ________ then they will___________" as I can tell you that isn't an accurate blanket statement.

BTW no issues with the 1054 :D

Edmond,OK-still a Texan
Hey Newly... ATS sucks ass.
Carry on all.


HA Ha i think your about the only one posting in here that still has a stock trans :spit:

When you get your SC it will last forever cause your power level is weak sauce:D

Im ok after I fell over backwards in my chair lmao. I dont care who you are, that chit is funny right there. good times. I do believe block 88 was being funny, but Newly gave the tko. :) Glad to know my tranny will never have to be replaced now, think I made the list for least upgrades.

SunCoast sucks. I have never run ATS though. SC is shitty to deal with and the TC's are garbage. Although I do like the 1056....:eek:

My 1057 had no fluid coupling at all, you should have seen the guts, guess who got stuck paying for all of it? Not SC, they didnt help me one bit. I do like my 1056 though, SC should test their products a little more before racing to the market with a bunch of new stuff.

Did you make more than 2 dolla this time?

Oh yeah your a homo with gay pride purple all of over:hello: Don't make me come over to Col and lay the smack down on you with a golf cart

Please do. Bring your golf cart, its probably faster than your truck:rofl:

I'm also the only posting in here that has only driven his truck 4 weeks and 2K miles out of the last 2 years.:(

Then take your ML knee pads off, pull your dress up and get back to the states!

Not everyone is a SC fan. People are allowed to voice there opinion arent they? I know plenty of people happy with their ATS converter...so what?

Thanks for having the balls to speak your opinion here:) Good luck with your trans and i hope it holds up good.

thinking of getting ats stg 3 with co pilot . any thoughts ?

As was stated before this turned into an ATS vs the world war, do a little reading in the forums, and talk to all the top guys that sell/build ally transmissions. Then make your decision.

If there is one thing I have learned over the past 15 years of wrenching on performance vehicles and heavy equipment, no matter who sells it, who makes it, who endorses it, or who gets it for free, sooner or later it all breaks.

For me, it's who gives the best customer support, who works the best to fit my needs, and who in my eyes is a good group of people to support financially. But that's me and my opinion, I'm also the guy who drive 40 miles one way to get parts and service done on both my truck and ATV as I don't like the customer service I get from the local shops so take that bit of info as a reference to my character if you will.

I'm a piece of mind over price kind of guy.

Did it lock when it was new then went out ? or did it never lock ? and what stall did you go with?

I dont think its the tcc issue if theres no issues with you 54 or does that do it as well ? thanks for the info.
