Parker, Arizona: In January 2003, Team ORC had the ATS Diesel Performance Stage IV package intalled in The Desert Tank. This vehicle, a Dodge Ram Cummins 4WD 2500 truck is responsible for towing ORC's rolling headquarters and high-speed Internet satellite equipment throughout the West. Since the installation we have managed to grind out nearly 40,000 + miles of both dirt and asphalt travel. And without any hesitation the ORC staff fully endorses the products offered by ATS Diesel Performance. While many diesel performance companies market upgrade products for Cummins powered Rams, ATS Diesel Performance is the only company that delivers a complete line of upgrade products including the TripleLok™ torque converter. The TripleLok™ torque converter lockup clutches won't slip under ANY load. After all, what good is high horsepower if you can't get the power to the ground? Dodge Turbo Diesel Ram owners haul heavy loads and you can expect a lot from their trucks. ATS Diesel performance delivers the products you need to get the job done.

Automotive Transmission Specialists is the brain child of Clint and Ranee Elder. Founded in 1993, the company specialized in transmission repair for all types of vehicles. And then in 1997, Performance Torque Converters was founded and they started doing torque converter rebuilds in house. Bringing the capability of building torque converters in house gave them more flexibility to service their racing customers. In 1998, as the popularity of diesel trucks grew and more people became aware of the power upgrades available for their diesels, problems with diesel transmissions emerged. ATS Diesel Performance has been perfecting torque converters for many years. Check out the competition in the chart below.

LEADING COMPETITORS IN TECHNOLOGY: In comparison with other leading manufacturers of high performance torque converters, ATS Diesel Performance leaves the others in the dust. And you only have to drive one TripleLok equipped truck and you'll not even think again about the competition. ORC has over 7500 miles on our newly installed TripleLok, and after towing a 30' trailer through the mountains of the West, we have confirmed that the ATS Diesel Performance TripleLok is the only way to go.

 

TRIPLELOK TORQUE CONVERTER: The stator is CNC machined for optimal torque multiplication.TripleLok™ gets you where you're going no matter what you're towing. The TripleLok Torque Converter is the leader in its class.

TripleLok™ Torque Converter
Unleash your Cummins 12/24 Valve, Ford Powerstroke or Chevrolet Duramax Diesel Powerplant. The ATS Diesel Performance TripleLok™ torque converter was designed and built to tackle the Rockies—so you can be confident it will handle your load on any
terrain.

We have locked up our the TripleLok Torque Converter installed in the ORC Desert Tank and have been extremely successful in keeping the power to the asphalt. Towing our 15K trailer has been nothing but a breeze since replacing the stock torque converter with the TripleLok.

TripleLok™ gets your power to the ground with a heavy duty machined billet cover to eliminate warping, an innovative triple-disc clutch design to eliminate slippage (without increasing line pressure) and an optimized CNC machined stator to get you off the line faster when pulling heavy loads.

TripleLok™ has twice the surface area and handles three times the torque our leadingcompetitor and is designed to maximize exhaust brake performance. TripleLok™ has been in research and development for over two years and has excelled in rigorous Rocky Mountain testing pulling extreme loads. We're so confident in TripleLok™ it is backed by the only 36 month warranty in the business.

TRIPLELOK ROCKS: Between Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada is a decent 20 mile grade that leads from Baker, California to the top of the Halloran Summit. This grade leaves the floor of the Mojave Desert and rises to the mountain top before descending into the Las Vegas metropolitan valley. With numerous scars of burned and problem trucks, the ORC staff makes this run a couple times a month and is backed by TripleLok. TripleLok Rocks the desert!!! www.ATSDiesel.com

 
TRIPLELOK LEADS THE WAY FOR OFF-ROAD.COM
DESERT CENTER, CA: ORC staffers pulled out of Palm Springs at nearly noon on this winter day and the temps were still hovering in the low 80's. Immediately after leaving the valley we pulled the long hill up to the top of Chiraco Summit. The ATS Diesel Performance TripleLok led the way and never once slipped as we passed the lineup in the right lane blazing to the top of Chiraco Summit.
TRIPLELOK: Hailing from the San Fernando Valley, in Southern California, Ricardo, is one of the R&R technicians at ATS Diesel Performance. He's a California transplant into the metropolitan Denver, Colorado area where ATS Diesel Performance is located. If you're heading through Denver, stop by ATS Diesel Performance located in the suburb of Wheatridge, Colorado.
ATS PURPLE: The ATS Diesel Performance color of choice is purple. Leading the industry in many facets, they also lead in color design. Our purple TripleLok speeds Team ORC along.
