SunCoast Trans or ATM Trans? Thoughts?

[Frank A Rappel]

So I like many have deleted and tuned my 2016 Ram 2500 Cummins. In doing so my 68RFE lasted about 20k miles. 6th gear (OD) is out. I still have the other 5. It is around 500Hp currently and looking to upgrade in the future to around 650ish HP. So doing some research and these 2 pre-built trans seem like the best options. Looking for any pros or cons on them to decide which one to go with. I don't want to have to do this again when upgrading HP. All thoughts are welcomed and appreciated.

I assume you mean ATS?

Check out Revmax as well.
Suncoast, Revmax and ATS have pretty good reps. Suncoast probably has the best reputation around though.

You just want to POP for an entire upgraded transmission or you just want to fix what is broke? I'm not 100% on people who have installed them, but I like how suncoast presents their stuff and shows the weaknesses of the rfe, and I have heard some stuff about ATS but those issues seamed to be solved.

You seen the video's?

ATS has struggled with a poor reputation regarding their products and poor customer service for a long time. Every time you read something positive you also read about more problems from their customers. If you consider them I would caution you to do lots and lots of research so you don't end up being surprised. I have not personally had any experience with their products, there was enough negative information floating around that I steered clear.

I've heard similar feedback, when I was in the shop doing a dyno yesterday they had a Ram 2500 sitting in back that broke 3 ATS transmissions and they were waiting for a suncoast to come in. ATS stood by the warranty but three broken tranny's in as many months... Not good.

I’ve heard the same about Suncoast and ATS, Randy’s or Revmax is where I’d get one from. Or buy one of their kits and rebuild it yourself to save some $$

Yes ATS. Dang auto correct! Oh wait I did that on the computer. Lol.

I'm leaning towards the Suncoast 68RFE Category 3. There's a dealer / shop a couple hours away and they can do it in a day. Which includes doing the learning process. I also wouldn't have to pay up front the 2k core charge by having them install.

Back when my forum name matched the vehicle I had.............I’d go Suncoast and not think twice.

they were among the first to really understand what could be beefed in the 68 and what would realistically work.
