Heading For Home
After a week with Alligator Performance it was time to hit the road again and head back home to Colorado. But with Stafford he doesn't believe in going straight home and he ended up making a pit stop in Arvada, Colo., to talk with ATS Diesel owner Clint Cannon. While there he decided to have his rear differential serviced and ended up with a new ATS differential cover for an 11.5 AAM rear end.
"I decided on ATS's differential cover because of the added fluid capacity, the added cooling surface, and the looks with the solid case," says Stafford. "But I had other ideas in mind as well since I knew ATS builds some of the best transmissions and no one else had even thought of building a transmission for the LML yet."
Stafford ended up taking Cannon for a ride in his truck and even though the ATS owner was pleased to feel the power, he could also feel the weakness of the stock transmission. They talked about it for a little bit and then Cannon agreed to build a transmission for the LML. Plans are already in the works to build an ATS billet 6-speed Allison transmission as Stafford continues to lead the way and be the pioneer for other LML owners to follow.
