    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    Well let it be a lesson to me, don't listen to Suncoast in regards to their fluid recommendation. I should have asked for his name, but he specifically said to use "regular Dextron Mercon III," which is what I believe killed the solenoids, which killed the trans. I reinstalled the stock direct...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    Ok, so after about 2 miles of driving, the Go-Go solenoid let out completely. I lost reverse, 5th, and 6th. After doing research, I am nearly 100% confident that my ****ing problem was with the fluid that Suncoast recommended. Who knows what damage to the clutches I've caused at this point...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    My friend came down this morning and brought me my Go-Go solenoid. I put it in, and put 9qts of fresh fluid in. There was for sure some metallicness going on in the fluid, but the magnet didn't have much on it at all. Nowhere near the black sludge that it had when I dropped the pan at 65k on...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    Absolute, my trans shop is of the opinion that the aftermarket direct drive solenoids are simply a stock solenoid "with the screw turned a 1/4 turn." Is there any validity to that? I got the tuner back and loaded the updated IDP tune, along with their built trans tune. The engine trans is...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    It didn't do it when it was stock, but then again it didn't make enough power for me to notice. I have the SCT Livewire 9025or. It has done it since the very first day I put the device on. I get the device back tomorrow so I'll be sure to post up my findings. Bigrpowr, yes that is my buddy's...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    I can't sell now lol I have too much into it with the trans lol. I'm not sure it's a fueling issue. My buddy with the same truck has an airdog cause he did a shortbed conversion and his truck still does it. I wish I knew someone local who I could borrow their tuner to see if it's an IDP...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    I forgot to add that the trans has always shifted 100% at WOT, never skipped a beat once with 1.68 60fts, and a bunch of street racing. No flare ups even with the stock trans, none with the Suncoast either. I just built the Suncoast so the truck wouldn't leave me stranded.

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    Not a flare, it's hard to describe. More like a "bog bog bog" then boost builds back up and the truck starts accelerating like it should again. Almost feels like boost bleeds off for whatever reason (pardon my lack of knowledge regarding tuning), then it spikes back up. It more feels like the...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    The shifts don't feel as firm as I'd like, that's for sure. They are a tad firmer then when I had my stock trans + Go-Go + IDP firm trans tune, but I'd like this thing to nearly chirp the tires on every shift, I had a 4L60E in my Silverado that I built with all the good stuff and the TransGo...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    Ok thanks for the info. Does anyone have a weird condition where if they at like 3/4 throttle (spirited acceleration but not WOT), on the 3-5 shift it completely shudders and shakes the truck and doesn't shift properly, almost like missing a gear or shifting into 4th or something. Really...

    Does anyone run a Go-Go solenoid or similar with their Suncoast Built Trans?

    John the owner at Suncoast says, (and I quote), "that's a sure way to burn out your transmission fast." He also said "if it behooves you, you might consider installing a new Ford OEM direct drive solenoid." My good buddy has about 10k on his Suncoast trans, he makes 603 to the wheels on fuel...

    Why does my truck fall flat on its face shifting into 5th at WOT (Tuned/ DPF Delete)?

    I am running IDP's Xtreme Street Tune (approximately +300rwhp) and I've been enjoying the hell out of it for about 5,000 miles. But lately, with the foot to the floor, the 3-5 shift goes completely flat. Feels like someone cut the power completely, then it sort of sorts itself out and keeps...
