Quick Ship SKU #: ATS-3100052464 ATS 3100052464 Thermal Bypass Valve Up-Grade With Billet Filter Coupler 19-24 Ram 6.7L Cummins

Another part that can be damaged by the heat allowed to pass through the factory bypass valve is the factory plastic filter coupler. To remedy this, ATS manufactures and includes a billet filter coupler so that the filter has a solid mounting point which won't be compromised by higher temperatores or over-tightening.

HOW IT WORKS: Ram decided to incorporate a transmission cooler bypass valve into the cooling system of the 68RFE and Aisin AS69RC that bypasses the transmission cooler during cold operation. The intent is to force the transmission to warm up faster. The reality is this bypass valve leaks and sticks in the bypass position in almost every case, causing the transmission cooler flow to bypass the trans cooler, essentially eliminating the trans cooler from the circuit. This causes severe damage to the transmission over time because it is not being adequately cooled by the transmission cooler. The ATS cooler block replaces the faulty design, eliminating the bypass valve and ensures 100% of the trans cooler flow is forced through the trans cooler. In every case this substantially reduces transmission temperatures.
