It'll cost just as much in parts and even more in labor. This is usually what you get for 7 grand installed-New triple disc billet converter, New high performance Red Alto Frictions, New high performance kolene steels, New billet front & rear servo, New billet accumulator, New billet front band strut, New high performance shift improvement kit w/resistor in line, New “HEMI” style front band, New OEM bearings and washers, New filter & any related hard parts, New OEM electronics, New gaskets, seals, and sealing rings, Steel 6 disc “HEMI” style direct drum 6 disc, Billet input & output shaft

I know guys who got quotes for just billet input shafts installed at $3000

^^^damn guess thats the down side of owning a modded diesel? or is that what a performance trans cost in general?

 

[zack]

thought about redoing mine but damm near just as much an know warranty if i redo it just wanted to hear from others an there thoughts ....other local shops are around 5 to 6000 an only have 3 year 75000 mile warranty

 

[reefguy89]

for the ats is that price installed or just for the trans?

 

[Trupiano]

Damn, that sucks bro. But that transmission sounds amazing!

 

[quietpeen]

wow that sucks

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

No good on your old trans but hey the new one will be able to workgood with alot of power.

 

[zack]

the ats is them sending it to me an me putting it in an sending my old one back as a core ..6586.25 up front an when they get my trans i get 1700 back so out of wallet in the end is 4836.25

Well that's not too bad! Did you have any tranny work done before, and what's your mileage?

 

[zack]

130,000 an no tranny work so she had a long life lol but now its like this

 

[infernoredram]

Wow thats really good considering you were running the smarty and FASS!

 

[Oefootball_70]

Wow thats really good considering you were running the smarty and FASS!

And 37's


Yeah sounds like a goo deal to me.

I am pretty sure the fastest Hemi quad cab 4x4 Ram runs an ATS trans now. Has good things to say about it.

Other than that can't give you any info on them.

 

[zack]

thats what i am after man thanks any input is great like to hear the good an bad

 

[MikesRammin]

How much would the cost be if you installed yourself?

 

[Uncle Ugly]

Ever wonder why ATS has such a warranty????
Just slip onto some of the other diesel boards and see how poor their reputation is and you will understand why.Better yet call down to Innovative Diesel Performance and talk to Eric about how well his held up in the truck I currently own,which was bought from him,and you will not have to wonder why there is a NADP nestled between the frame rails.

If I wasn't going to buy one locally from Ladell Weaver or have Va's Tim Barber at TRE build one then it would only be one of 4 choices for a new one......NADP-Goerand.HTS or DTT.

Tim Barber and Ladell Weaver can handle ANYTHING you want to build for your truck.If drop in replacement is the way then I would say NADP,Goerand,HTS or DTT in that order,but,its your truck and your money.

I am a anti-ATS owner having been screwed by them myself on other projects/parts and their failures.You would NEVER find anything Purple from them on my truck and as soon as the weather gets a tad better where I can uncover the black truck their POS leaky exhaust manifold will go also.

A buddy of mine has been through his CTD transmission 3 times. Seems they kept overlooking installing an upgraded bearing and race at the input shaft.

Good luck with the ATS unit. I've heard good things about them.

 

[infernoredram]

I noticed the ratings on XDP werent that great...idk if you wanna take that into consideration.

I do know Dale Smith's Cummins that runs 9.7s in the quarter is sponsored by ATS...not sure if its running a tranny from them, because he pretty much builds everything for the truck.
