Sun Coast CAT1 500 HP Allison Transmission with Converter 2WD

The Sun Coast CAT1 500 HP Allison Transmission GMAX-CAT1-LB7-0103-2WD is a performance transmission upgrade designed for 2001–2004 GM Duramax LB7 trucks equipped with a 2WD drivetrain. This transmission package strengthens the factory Allison platform and provides improved reliability for trucks producing higher power levels.

Sun Coast engineered this transmission to handle up to 500 horsepower while maintaining smooth drivability. As a result, it works well for daily driving, towing, and trucks running mild performance upgrades.

Built for Strength and Reliability

The Sun Coast CAT1 Allison transmission includes upgraded internal components that improve durability compared to the factory transmission. These upgrades increase torque capacity and help prevent common failures found in stock Allison units.

Improved internal components help the transmission handle increased engine output while maintaining consistent performance. As a result, the transmission performs reliably under load and during heavy towing.

Matched High Performance Torque Converter

This package includes a high-performance torque converter designed specifically for this transmission build. The converter improves power transfer from the engine to the drivetrain.

A properly matched converter helps reduce slippage and improves drivability. This allows the truck to accelerate more smoothly and maintain power when towing or climbing grades.

Improved Shift Quality

Sun Coast also recalibrates the transmission to improve shift quality. The upgrades provide firmer and more controlled gear changes compared to the factory unit.

Better shift control helps the transmission stay within the optimal power range while reducing heat buildup during heavy loads.

Designed for LB7 Duramax Trucks

The Sun Coast CAT1 500 HP Allison transmission is built specifically for 2001–2004 Duramax LB7 trucks with 2WD. The transmission installs as a direct replacement for the factory Allison transmission.

Because it is built as a complete package, installation is straightforward for professional installers.

The Torque Converter
SunCoast Allison 1000 torque converters come in many varieties, from heavy hauling, sled pulling, drag racing, to daily driving. Here at SunCoast we design and manufacture all of our torque converters in house. Because of this unique advantage SunCoast can supply almost any request in regards to stall speed or torque multiplication. All of our SunCoast Allison triple disc converters are outfitted with a heavy duty forged billet steel cover and give unbeatable lock up performance.
All of the SunCoast Allison 1000 torque converters come standard with custom pump and turbine modifications (in house). SunCoast also Tig Welds each individual furnace brazed fin for improved reinforcement. The SunCoast Allison billet triple disc converter also comes standard with our proprietary trapezoidal clutch teeth.
New internal wiring harness
Every build here at SunCoast reliability is our number one priority. Each one of our (Category) Allison Transmissions comes with a new internal wiring harness. As the transmission continues to age, the plastic connectors become brittle and will break during disassembly. This will eventually lead to premature failure.
Some other transmissions exclusives include SunCoast proprietary C1, C2, C3, and C4 Alto carbonite frictions/Rabestos SCZ frictions that contain no center slots. These frictions utilize a waffle pattern in the material to help retain oil helping the clutch cool when not applied. Redesigned apply pistons with improved rubber compounds proven to hold higher heat. This custom piston allows us to use a thicker spring apply plate which replaces the thin OEM one that will cone and cause uneven apply surface resulting in premature clutch failure. Custom SunCoast apply plate that redirects fluid to better lubricate frictions from the inside out which lubes the entire friction rather than OEM style that lubricates from the center out leaving the inner half of the clutch burnt. Includes exclusive smart trim / clutch control valve. Includes all items needed to modify the C2 clutch piston for increased clutch durability.

Note: A $500 shipping surcharge will be added.
