    Limped ATS today, ???

    I bought it from person that installed the ATS. It failed the first time the day I bought it, left me stranded in a snowstorm with no cell phone coverage. Basically gave the truck back to previous owner and said I would re-buy it with a working trans. He fixed it, thru ATS and I bought...

    Limped ATS today, ???

    Sorry to be absent, just wanted to get things handled through ATS before ranting on the internet. They covered the parts, sent me a $3K kit, I was on the hook for labor. So, as far as ATS they came through. Rememeber, I didn't buy this trans so technically they didn't have to cover it. ATS...

    NAh I just meant if someone local has to open it up and replace everything it would be 5-6k. I don't know what a ats rebuild kit costs, haven't looked.

    ATS has been great really, they don't technically have to cover squat as per their warranty. They don't transfer between owners. They will either ship me rebuild kit and converter with core, or I can ship Trans to them and they will cover everything but shipping. The dude I have...

    I suggested that, he said why would you want to replace things that arent broken. I sort of agree, since new guts is $5-6K. We'll see

    They are running the trouble tree now, he's hinting that he thinks there may be a bad seal. When it gets hot, pushes fluid through the seal and causes the drama. stay tuned, still working on it.

    Standby, truck at Trans shop now. It's gotten worse, limps almost everyday after warming up and twice I've put it in gear and gotten nothing but slippage. Really wish I never bought that stupid thing- My F150 always ran perfect lol

    Ok, so here's the whole story for those who are interested. Bought the truck a year ago in Denver (I live in Seattle) Drove it out of town the day I bought it and the Trans went out in Cheyenne, snow storm, no cell coverage, on a flat bed $300 later to the Chev Dealer. Only had reverse, had...

    We reset all the adaptive, and cleared the code. Seemed to drive worse on the test drive after that, then on the drive home the light came on and then it limped. Shifting worse then ever, limped and stayed in 3rd 3 more times on the way home until I could finally get on the freeway. Going...

    Haven't tried that, although most people are saying it won't make a difference. I'm going to pull some data off it tonight via EFI live and see what's up, try to reset a few things and send data to ATS... and here of course. I appreciated all the insight.
