he's got an auto, i doubt that he's wanting to swap a 6spd into a brand new truck.
Ive heard alot of good things about suncoast transmissions. Also BTS would be one to look at, but im not sure if they do anything for the torque shifts yet.

Probably won't fit your 6.0 but IMO it's definately the C6 that would be the toughest slushbox out there.

ats builds the best tranny's i've seen. brians truck shop is suppose to be good too. the tranny i saw on his(bts) site had a purple torque converter(ats). the best rule of thumb is find one of the good tranny builders and see which one is closest to you and go with them. autos seem to need some adjustment sometimes no matter who built it.

To the OP.... I know this thread was started over a year ago, but since that time Brian at BTS has now built a handful of 5r110's. There's a guy here in the Denver area running one with his 6.0L. I'm not sure if Brian is only building a select few, or if this is available to everyone. Might want to call and ask.

That purple torque converter you saw is a Precision Industries Stallion converter, not an ATS. The Stallion converter is bigger and stronger than the ATS one. The reason for the purple paint job is that it is a special paint that turns color when the torque converter is overheated. Quite a few companies use that paint, not just ATS.
