Call Haisley Machine they have some pretty good running auto trucks.

[DRAG DIESEL]

With serveral stall speeds for big to bigger to biggest of turbo configurations, the ATS Triple Lok is the only way to go. www.atsdiesel.com

I think a lot of guys are going with the Goerand(sp?) converters in their pullers, after other brands were failing.

I heard the same thing.



I have never tried tried to pull with mine...



I would like to have someone with a huge amount of power to try one of mine and try to break it.



Sounds fun huh??

I have one of Daves conversters and I pull with it, i dont have the power that the big boys have but it hooks up and holds. I'm very happy with it Oo.

I would recomend Coan Engenering , talk to Jason Coan he built my comvertor , and it locks up with in 1. 5 % at 1000 hp , he is one of the only people that has a convertor dyno

I've got a Goerends converter/transmission. I've said it before and I'll say it again... . With the ammount of torque that our trucks are putting down you have to do one of 3 things.

1: Band-aid it. Throw unnessissary billit shafts into the trannys so you can make the truck shift way to firm.

2: Build a converter that is tight on the bottom end but loostens up on the top end so when it shifts, it has a cushion.

3: Spend some time, design a valvebody/shift kit that will shift smoothly, but firmly. Set it up so it's not Shocking the shafts in the transmission and build a converter that Starts out TIGHT and gets Tighter.

When you shock the shafts in the transmission and I think of it like a long extension on a stuck bolt. If you ease into that extension you can put more torque on that bolt and extension before something breaks. If you just SLAM your way into it, it will break.



I have pulled a few times with my Goerends transmission and Daves' patented tight-tighter triple disc converter. I left it in D, locked out OD and let the transmission do the work. I NEVER felt it upshift or downshift. Last fall I was at around 350hp. During that last pull it was a VERY hard track surface with fair Yokohama Geolander A/T tires. I got down to the end of the track where the sled stopped me, it downshifted from 3rd to 2nd to 1st and proceeded to spin and smoke all 6.



I've drag raced this truck with the same converter. I have a lock-up switch that actuates at 35mph. I've ran it both ways. It didn't matter.



On the road when it grabs lock-up it only drops about 75rpm.



I think it's all the advantages of an Automatic, with as close as possible lock up as a clutch.

PS, Lifetime warranty on the converter and 100,000miles on the transmission, I'm sold.

call haisley after all not far from you, I think they will tell you goerend bros. I like coan and all ,but they do use a lot of tci parts to build what they put their name on. all while bashing tci to the customer,hmm use their stuff and slam them . used daves (coan, jasons dad "the man") stuff for years in our sc car with great results but they will not do what goerend does and put a warrantee on it. coan is closer but haisley has more experiance with what you want,and coan has a d-max too

 

[patcarman]

im getting ready to do my tanny here in a couple of months,and i have been hearing alot about georends stuff and sounds good/brayls where r they located i c your not far from me.

 

[zstroken]

Haisleys say that they run the ATS in theirs "street" pullers" THey do sell goerands stuff, but primarily for transmission rebuilds

 

[jwilliams3]

Haisley sells both but runs the ATS converters in their pullers.

 

[Sled Puller]

Are you SURE, Justin?

Are you SURE, Justin?

:-laf :-laf :-laf That's baiting Gene!

 

[jwilliams3]

Well I asked Terry Coppess at the Indoor pull.

He said he was running an ATS converter in his "blue" truck.

You know one of the top street trucks around.



Other trucks from their shop could run different converters, but his had the ATS at the time.

[Sled Puller]
