I agree and add DTT to that list.

I just got my new trans installed a few weeks ago. I went with Goerend. All is working well.

No worries bud. Ive been running ATS transmissions and their parts for awhile and have had zero issues with my 5 Star or valve body.

To each his own though, people like what they like and works best for them.

There are hundreds of options out there and realistically most have the same results.. agreed that anything after market is going to be better then stock 10 fold. What works for you is up to you.. if you live closer to ATS or say Suncoast ect.. its worth your money to shop from them since your closer. All in all you'll be happier either way that the stock components came up missing

Ive seen parts fail on all of the big tranny names.. theres no such thing as an indestructable part, if its out there on the market.. someone has the power to break it. Thats why when shopping be sure to keep your power intentions in mind. Even tho you say you dont want alot of power now and think you'll be fine with a lower grade part, Eventually you will want to up your power. Youll figure out that your original purchased parts cant handle the tq you throw at it.. and thats where most manufacturers get a bad rep.

everyone makes decent parts and everyone has their failures

cant say that I ever had a complaint out of 6 ats customers I can text right off hand making it 7 including myself.. we all run big power and none of us have ever had issues with warrenty or customer service. Only one problem to date with 1 friend of mine that had a stage5 installed at a chevy dealer and due to faulty install it chewed up 2nd gear bands and ATS replaced the tranny free of charge including labor no questions asked.. Ive heard horror stories sure.. but Im giving the guy my PERSONAL recommendation based off of the experiance(s) that I can actually speak of to date

If i was you I would do more research or maybe someone can tell you who is best while your playing with Jackson's hole

Keep googling friend

I cant begin to tell you how excited I am that you are letting us know how much knowledge and real world experience you have with these products on YOUR truck....kepp up the good work and thanks for posting.

to the thread starter: Suncoast or ATS.....both are good I would go with the one who has the installer that is closest to you just in case you need warranty or some other kind of service often times its easier that way.
