DODGE RAM 68RFE Transmission Cooler Thermostatic Bypass Upgrade FITS 2013-18 Body Style 6.7L CUMMINS DIESEL PICK-UP TRUCKS This is a must for any truck that has a 68-RFE or Aisin AS69RC transmission in it.
Dodge decided to incorporate a transmission cooler by pass valve into
the cooling system of the 68-RFE 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 a severe damage to the transmission over time. The
ATS cooler block replaces the faulty design eliminating the bypass
valve and ensures 100 percent of the trans cooler flow is forced through
the trans cooler. In every case this substantially reduces transmission
temperatures. Includes: ATS Thermal Bypass 1
Filter Coupler for in-pan Spin-on, Billet Aluminum (replaces factory plastic coupler to
allow installer to properly tighten the filter) Must use 1/2" Hex Head

(depending on year yours may or may not need these fittings) This billet Cooler Thermostatic Bypass Upgrade completely eliminates
the thermal bypass valve and this elimination gives you three major
advantages. 87% increase in cooler flow
due to the elimination of the orifice bottleneck located in the factory part.
There is no longer a thermal controlled bypass valve which can fail
and cause lack of cooler flow and complete transmission destruction.
Instead of closing off cooler flow when the transmission is cold and
making your transmission generate unneeded heat that is hard to shed
later; our bypass allows your cooler to immediately begin cooling your
transmission and not waiting for it to get hot, just to try to cool it
later.
You cannot properly flush your cooler lines without the aid of a hot
flush machine that can get hot enough to open the bypass valve up. With
our bypass upgrade you can use room temperature fluid to clean out your
cooler at anytime you wish without any special tools!
Integral aluminum cooling fins aid in passive cooling of the block and fluid.
The ATS 68RFE Transmission Cooler Thermostatic Bypass Upgrade is a
direct bolt in replacement. No lines are cut, nothing is altered.
Simply disconnect your old lines and install them into our new bypass. Note: This is located underneath the truck, on the passenger side, right near where the transmission housing and engine block meet
