Default ATS 545RFE transmission from ATS Diesel

Just order me one. 2 day shipping means next week i guess they have to build it first. $5082.00 shipped and you get $1400.00 when they get the core back with converter.
ATS tri-lock converter, tranny and deep pan for the above price
tranny is 2700 with 1k core by its self.

presently they have sold three including mine.
one stoked w/ spray
one turbo
and my superchargered


i did it cause my clutch packs went less than 1k miles after the supercharger.
doing 4k at 60 in 2nd suck but the s/c sounds nice.
the water temp stayed low though.

Should be nice. At least Daking (DT) has thoroughly tested the ATS build quality. Now you just need to get that bottom end built and crank the boost

I am pushing 8.5lbs now and have a pulley that will give me 2 more but the truck goes extreme lean with that pulley past 3k. For now!

WOW! The problem was being taken care of on June 4th and the repairs are just now complete??? I would be furious to say the least... I'm glad it's finally fixed. I hate being without my truck for any length of time, let alone 6 months!!! That is a nice way to end the year and start the next one though!
