I'm considering an aftermarket TC for my CRD - mostly read about the Suncoast product at this point. Just a couple of questions: 1. Are there other competing options I should be considering? 2. What are your experiences and/or recommendations with aftermarket TCs on the CRD? Thanks for your input! |

1. ATS makes one, twice the money and it is way overbuilt. I was considering this one before the Suncoast. 2. Get a local shop to make one? That is all I know. I have the Suncoast. |

I think the Suncoast is the best bang for your buck. My local transmission shop had a local guy who built great converters for diesel drag trucks, but he recommended the Suncoast as the R&D for the design was already done. Ron at Suncoast tried a couple of designs before he found one he was happy with. If you had a shop roll their own, would they get it as good on the first try? - Chris |

Thanks Chris, This is the type of information that I need. I hope to have enough information in the coming week to go ahead and make the purchase. I'm surprized that other Suncoast buyers haven't been chimming in as you have. I hope to hear from a few others. I will be PM'ing some specific ones who have been vocal. Again, thanks! Shawn |

Shawn, The Suncoast TC has been treating me well. That plus the TransGo shift kit and new Mopar tranny pump made a significant improvement to the operation smoothness and shifting of my Jeep. The TC goes right into lock-up, nice and firm. I had the InMotion tune for about a month before i had the tranny upgraded. It was apparent that the TC wasn't going to last long with the additional power. Nice, its Friday! Chris |
