Limped ATS today, ???

Thanks Mike, they emailed it to me.
And there really is no warranty fight, their warranties don't transfer owner ship. I bought a POS truck and I have to deal with it. The previous owner is in jail, and that's a good place for him.
All things aside, I just want this thing to work. I just want a stock trans to be honest.

Bummer to be reading of these kinds of troubles 
Hope it all works out as good as possible for you...

If there is no warranty ,I doubt this will be a quick fix ,I hope it is but I doubt it is, just drop it and rebuild it and be done with it. I know it sucks but by the time your done running the tree your going to want to jump out of it at the highest point.
Well, even though I think it's smoke n mirrors- I think the trouble shooting still needs to happen. What if I drop the trans, spend $5K to put new stuff in it and it happens all over again.
People can say what they want about the ATS trans, I'm still neutral. I don't care who built it, it should last more than a year. Something has to be up.
I read about all these guys towing and pulling sleds and beating on their stuff, all I do is take mine to starbucks. I'm really easy on this thing.

I wouldn't put new stuff in if it was me ,but it's not,I'd swap it for a complete built Suncoast. So it won't happen again unless it is a TCM issue or wiring harness. When it comes to ATS it seems you get stood one or you don't .
That's my opinion.
I have so far been lucky. When I had the second one installed I broke it in like a baby. I put 200 miles on it stock and slowly turned the power up 200 miles at a time. Was it key? Don't know first one I put it on kill and it lasted less then a month if I recall.
I wish you the best of luck I really do but if you haven't dropped the pan I would. If you see debris in the pan it's every where.

a tow tune with a stock turbo'd truck wouldnt make any difference IMO unless its a poorly written tune.
living in seattle id just drop the trans and ship it to Mike L if possible. build it right for the last time and be done with it.
good luck

If someone could guarantee that would fix it, that would be one thing. If the truck is giving the trans bad info, replacing it with a brand new trans would do (or could do) the same thing.
Plus if that's really where I'm at, I'll just drive it until it falls on the ground and replace it then.

My stage 2 w copilot is starting to slip the 3-4 shift pretty often now but its been in for about 2 1/2 years. Throws a solenoid code every so often too. Not sure whats going on. Gonna have mike do my next one but not sure how much to build for yet.
This is exactly what mine did when the C3's wasted down to the metal........It isn't a programming problem, shit has hit the fan mechanically.
he would have a pan and filter full of clutch material. there is none based on what we have been told.
Flash the factory tuning back into it and go drive it.
