idk anything about ats never had it but i just know what i got and that it works good but i do know that a friend of mine had ats and he sent it bck and then got it back and put it in and it wouldnt shift out of 2nd and they found out there was about 3 tsp of dirt in the valve body that was stoping it from shifting and then he got another valve body and then ats tried charging him for the valve body... needless to say he didnt pay for it after spending twice as much on the trans then i payed for my suncoast and the ats had 2 pulls on it with about 500 hp

Because I am a mod I have to hide my opinions of a company that number one does not sponser this site and number two is more interested in taking people for there money then putting out a product that will stand up to what they say it will...

Yet you have no comment that most of the other builders in the business will stand up to there warranty... but ATS will just say it was abuse...

hey Mdub707 hows that veggiestroke kit runnin in you 6 liter. i have one and ive been warned not to try it but im still curious

Nothing like driving right by the pumps burning WVO while guys are pumping $4+ a gallon diesel in!

Who told you not to run it? I wouldn't run anything else! With an OBS you have to do a few mods to the stock fuel system, but nothing that hasn't been done before. Check out www.biofuelstechnologies.com There are a few OBS guys on there who have done conversions recently too.

The vegistroke system has been more reliable than my stock fuel system and has got me to work at least 2x this winter when I couldn't run on diesel.



Wow, someone who is sticking up for ATS! That almost never happens. Usually when it does, it's just a friend of someone who works for ATS, because it seems most of the general population gets NOTHING in the form of help when warranty becomes an issue.

There are SEVERAL tranny companies that will warranty any and all hard parts, no questions asked.

HPOP shouldn't be effected by the WVO at all... all that's doing is pumping your motor oil to fire the injectors, never comes in contact with WVO. As for injectors, my sticky injectors would go away when running on oil. My FASS on the vegistroke puts out more PSI than my stock fuel system and the WVO is so lubricative it cuts engine noise to virtually nothing.
