It has helped our business grow and excel due to the fact of not having to worrying about cheap parts letting go for no reason. SunCoast has designed these kits in-house to exact specifications for many intents, including but not limited to towing, sled pulling, racing or having a vehicle to get from point A to point B. We have a couple transmission gurus around here that should chime in shortly. Anxious to see which way you go with this and how it turns out. Chrysler also increased second gear to a 1. Dealer Benefits Leading the diesel transmission industry in innovation.
Great people to deal with! We have some of the fastest heaviest trucks running SunCoast torque converters and are still in disbelief they keep taking pass after pass at the dragstrip and never let us down. Hence, our very first design was to switch to an accordian style of spring. We start with addressing the accumulator cover plate. This new drum is the perfect solution for a heavily modified 6. It is the single most important item in the transmission. Their instructions to install their parts are very easy to understand. When comparing to the factory drums 4479 psi, we saw a dramatic improvement over the factory.
The clutch and steel modules are all designed to be assembled within clearance tolerances out of the box, however it is crucial that all clearances are checked and recorded. We approach each deficiency and need from a scientific approach. These kits feature the same technology and parts that we use in our in house transmission builds. When this deflection occurs, it often times will cause the screws to loosen, and in some instances even break. Chrysler also increased second gear to a 1.
Here at SunCoast, we take a very scientific approach to how we calibrate these units. Many times, we see tuners request from the transmissions lines pressures in excess of 200psi, which the factory pump is unable to achieve. When coupled with one of our triple disc billet torque converters, you will not find a more efficient transmission on the planet at any cost. Ill shoot you a pm bud and we can go over some details to get you where you need to be. Increasing the size of the drum and piston netted us a clamping force of a whopping 6909psi at 200 psi of line pressure. SunCoast works directly with these companies to design and manufacture proprietary exclusive SunCoast product lines, giving the end user uncompromised quality throughout the entire transmission. We started researching this project with a clean slate.
SunCoast decided early that we needed to develop an new drum. Many thanks to Andrew and crew for their support. When we are talking science, we know that doesn't lie. Here at SunCoast, we address this issue by modifying the release oil circuit within the pump. We are proud to offer the best rebuilding kits for your diesel transmission that money can buy.
SunCoast is leading the Industry with their quality of diesel products and their customer support. SunCoast works directly with these companies to design and manufacture proprietary exclusive SunCoast product lines, giving the end user uncompromised quality throughout the entire transmission. So I've been looking at rebuild kits from both Suncoast and revmax as well as looking at upgrading my valve body. This new billet design is absolutely unbreakable and currently has a Patent Pending. The factory overdrive clutches are at a high risk of failure when towing or installing aftermarket programmers, delete kits, or larger turbos. SunCoast has also redesigned the spring and recalibrated it for our specific needs. It has been shown time and time again that these factory side plates are prone to deflection due to the fact they are made with inferior steel, and a bit thinner than desired.
This proved to not only provided a sufficient amount of tension to keep the sprag from flipping, but held at the current power levels we were seeing at the time. The issue with this factory unit is inherent to the design. These overhaul kits contain all of the gaskets, o-rings, seals sealing rings and small parts required to completely overhaul your transmission properly. The rule around here is when we are evaluating issues is that we strive to take a scientific approach to the problem. What are everyones thoughts on rebuild kits, upgraded valve bodies or maybe there are options I don't know of that would be better! It is imperative that you select a highly qualified installer or be extremely competent with the rebuilding process of your transmission. Our engineers were able to determine the amount of clamping force needed to make the clutches hold.
These kits offer you the same recipes that are used in our facility. Conventional logic would tell us that we should just drive line pressure until we achieved the desired clamping force. Well if math doesn't lie we knew fairly quickly where the problem stemmed. The first improvement Chrysler wanted to make over the Torqueflite platform was, obviously, the amount of forward gear. They not only get me the right parts, at the best price, but they also do so incredibly fast! The first improvement Chrysler wanted to make over the Torqueflite platform was, obviously, the amount of forward gear. Thank you Andrew, Ernie and the whole team and SunCoast.
Product support is beyond what any company we have ever deal with, they have taken hours on the phone with us to help diagnose problems and give us information to make sure we are kept up to date with the latest ideas and technical information. Fast forward to 8 years later, and now this design has been copied and almost every retailer is selling their version of this design. This will always result in burnt clutches. When designing the drum we were able to change the piston apply area giving us a nice boost in clamping force. In testing we found that with the newly found pressure, we were still falling short. These false 68rfe pressure codes some times are the result of circuit board flexing.
