Do This FIRST To Your 68RFE Dodge! ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Install

Рет қаралды 53,926

Күн бұрын

💪 ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Up-Grade for Cummins with 68RFE or Aisin AS69RC Transmissions and the Dodge HEMI with 545RFE, 65RFE, or 66RFE Transmissions. Dodge decides to incorporate a transmission cooler bypass 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 severe damage to the transmission over time. The ‪@ATSDieselPerformance‬ cooler block replaces the faulty design by eliminating the bypass valve and ensuring 100% of the trans cooler flow is forced through the trans cooler. In every case, this substantially reduces transmission temperatures.

@@Mike-01234 I know it was a common problem with Nissan vehicles, and the idea of it it's not really that solid. The problem with ram is that the thermostat on that thermal valve is too small, and when it opens the flow is minimal. That's where the bypass comes into play, free flow will definitely keep the transmission fluid cooler. Cheers 🍻

Be careful if you live in a cold climate. I live in Iowa. It got down to 25° Fahrenheit and transmission would not heat up enough and was throwing transmission codes.

It’s a personal choice honestly. If you plug your truck in or park in garage the trans fluid will stay relatively warm at initial start up. But the design of the original valve was to hold fluid to temp, but the restriction is just too much in our opinion

OK, I’m now confused and could use some perspective. Based on this and several other videos on this topic and installed the ATS bypass on my 2015 RAM diesel with the 68RFE tranny. I am now on an extended trip towing our 5th wheel. My tranny temps are averaging 130-150 with occasional jumps to 170 on long, hard uphills. However, I’m now hearing that that might not actually be good for the tranny since they are designed to run warmer and the fluids are synthetic and also made to handle more heat. What is the long term effect of running these trannys at these cooler temps?

@thoroughbreddiesel 3 ай бұрын

Cooler oil temps are not going to effect the transmission negatively. The lack of flow from the thermal block is one of the things that really can hurt this tranny.
