Each company has their strengths - does DTT build an aftermarket manifold - no. Does Sun Coast build a really nice intake horn - no. So to respond to your attempt to undermine my credability - I do have the best interest of every single customer at heart and I do mean every single customer. Understand the beginning of my post - certain manufacturers excell greatly at certain products and that's not to say that they are a weak or inferior company by any means.
This is exactly why I put that note at the bottom of the post. You are taking it personally and that is not what I was getting at. You raise a very valid point that ATS supplies hard parts that the other transmission builders do not, but they are and may always be know as a transmission builder first and foremost (that's how I found them). This was a thread about tranmissions though, not other parts. I was not trying to undermine your credibility, the contradiction does that on its own. I was simply repeating it.
With the thought in mind of keeping this thread informative to the creator, what would make a fella better served with a DTT, Suncoast, or Goerends than an ATS? Give the guy an understanding as to why you cast the ATS transmission aside amidst all the others.

Smokindog -thank you for that explanation. I do believe greatly in all of my vendors and their products. I do my best to stear each customer in the right direction and get them the most bang for their buck. I do believe that GB trannys are a lot for the money, DTT are pricy but to me it's been worth the money and as you know the fastest trucks on the tracks are running Sun Coast stuff. In my personal experience I've never seen an ATS hold serious amounts of power. You've seen the positive side of an ATS tranny. You know how that .02 works though

Dave Goerend is the BEST, Period.
He KNOWS what I do to my transmission and truck, (I send him videos periodically) and he still stands by his warranty.
I have twisted a billet input shaft a 1/4 spline and broke some experimental parts that were ONLY used on my truck, and he took care of it 100%.

The bottom line on transmissions and warranty is, TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT, AND HOW YOU DRIVE AND "USE" THE TRUCK
If you're upfront with them, chances are any of the companies we are discussing will stand behind their warranty WITHIN REASON. Also, if you tell them you have 350hp, and then you go to 600hp, and toast a tranny dragracing then I don't think they should honor the warranty...after all, you lied to themPersonally, Im going with DTT...but only because I'm shooting for 12.0 at 7700lbs
I know I'm going to break somethingI've recommended a few of my friends to Dave Goerend becasue of his service and willing to talk with you about what he does...and he does have an excellent warranty. But from what I have seen, that warranty is used often for some people who use their truck like I think I will.
I've also ridden in DTT's in trucks that are doing what I will be...and I LOVE the way they act.
Sorry for the long post, and I'm sure someone will pick apart my post and come up with lots of things to argue about, but those are my thoughts
