I don't know how they came up with this exactly, but it sounds like it is real. I am interested to see how it works out on the trucks and how hard it would be to install everything. BTW, the guys at suncoast said there would be a discount on this kit if you had one of the tranny kits installed at the same time.

or sent them your already upgraded VB????


I'm still curious about the "help" needed from Allison to do it. Wonder if SunCoast got it or found a way around it?

You will not get any help from Allison. The Suncoast kit works pretty well and only needs valve body and TCM replaced. The rest of it has always been there.

Im going to need a SC IV in the near future. Could i get a 6 speed and upgrade the TCM? seems that would be the easyest way to do it.

That would be the perfect time to do it and save some money.

Different Valve Body, you can just swap your's out instead of rebuilding it and then send your origional back as core.

Remember it will have to be an LLY core.

Joe will honor your core return. He understands that you bought the truck with the non-modulated valve body. So why penalize you for the changes Allison made.
