The ATS Co-Pilot TOW Edition is designed as a plug and play line pressure controller to enhance the holding power of your 68RFE 6 speed automatic transmission. This unit will dynamically control the commanded line pressure, which prevents clutch slippage as its been proven time and again the factory line pressure is inadequate for even mildly modified trucks, or those hauling heavier loads. Further, because it is dynamically controlling pressure, and not just statically increasing it across the entire RPM range, you will maintain superb driving manners, even when crawling through traffic.
The 68-RFE is plagued by small clutch packs, weak hard parts, constant slip torque converter lock-up, and inadequate line pressure. Typically, these issues can result in the failure of the stock transmission with just a mild tune or heavy trailer. The Co-Pilot Tow Edition addresses these concerns.
WHAT IS THE ATS 68RFE CO-PILOT?
The Co-Pilot consists of a controller, harness and secondary electronics box. The harness plugs into the main transmission connector on the valve body. The harness is completely plug and play for easy installation. The controller mounts in the cab and allows the driver view critical transmission and engine inputs such as line pressure, commanded engine loan and actual engine load. To view the different sensor inputs all you do is depress the up or down arrows. These changes can be made on-the-fly or with the vehicle stopped. The secondary electronics box is mounted to the drivers side frame and requires no cutting or fitting.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
The Co-Pilot controls line pressure, clutch timing and more aggressively applies the converter clutch under high torque situations. Line pressure is limited in a stock 68-RFE to 160 PSI. Unfortunately, this is not high enough to reliably prevent clutch slippage above 400hp. The Co-Pilot reads boost pressure and throttle position to quickly take control of line pressure when it is needed. However, when the vehicle is driven lightly, line pressure is near stock for comfortable shifts. This is all done automatically in the controller.
The Co-Pilot has a huge advantage over TCM programing on 2013 and newer trucks because of the way the factory TCM is designed. When the higher line pressure modifications are done to the Valve body on a truck that is 2013 and newer aftermarket TCM tuning that is used will cause a radical pressure variation that spikes line pressure causing lots of problems. For this reason you will fine TCM tuning is not desired on these newer truck and when TCM tuning is used the tuners do not allow for full line pressure increases like the Co-Pilot does, the Co-Pilot utilizing its dynamic closed loop control addresses this with an averaging circuit that provides a very smooth and controllable line pressure rise up to 270PSI.

MODES AVAILABLE IN CO-PILOT:
- Setting 1 (Down or all the way to the right) This mode shows you what the position of the TPS is. No Lights=0% and 5 lights=100%
- Setting 2 (One position from far right) This mode shows you what the Boost sensor is seeing. No Lights=0 PSI Boost and 5 lights=40 PSI Boost
- Setting 3 (Two positions from the right) This mode shows you what the actual transmission line pressure is No Lights=100 PSI line pressure and 5 lights=260 PSI Line pressure.
