ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Up-Grade 10-12 Ram 6.7L Cummins

Description

Do you want to protect your transmission and keep temps under control when towing or pushing your truck hard? If you have a Max Tow Package or Dual Transmission Oil Cooler installed you need to fix a factory failure point that can cause hot transmission fluid to miss the cooler and go back onto your already hot transmission. ATS's Thermal Bypass Valve Block Upgrade for 6.7L Cummins is designed to eliminate this weak point by using a solid-flow billet block that removes that issue. Fix a Common 6.7 Cummins Transmission Problem The factory thermal bypass valve found in select 2010-2012 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks is known to fail when the internal thermostat sticks closed. When this happens, transmission fluid bypasses the cooler entirely, causing dangerously high temps that can lead to clutch damage or complete transmission failure. The ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Upgrade eliminates this issue by removing the restrictive thermostat and allowing constant fluid flow through your cooling system. Performance Gains By allowing unrestricted transmission fluid flow, this upgrade can significantly lower operating temperatures: Highway Driving: Reduced temps by up to 40–60°F Moderate Towing: Reduced temps by 30–40°F Heavy Towing: Reduced temps by 25–30°F Constructed with high-quality materials designed to handle heat, pressure, and constant fluid movement, this upgrade is built to withstand the demands of towing, performance use, and heavy-duty driving. The direct-fit design allows for straightforward installation using factory mounting locations, while the robust construction ensures consistent performance without degradation over time. This makes it a reliable, long-term solution for improving transmission cooling efficiency and preventing heat-related failures in your Cummins.

FITMENT NOTE:

This upgrade is specifically designed for trucks equipped with advanced cooling options. (Max Tow Package or Dual Transmission Oil Cooler) You can confirm your truck needs this by checking these two locations:
Driver’s Side Wheel Well: Look near the fuel filter by the engine block. If you see a square aluminum block where the transmission lines meet, you have the serviceable bypass block that this ATS unit replaces.
In Front of the Radiator: If you have a secondary "mini" radiator mounted in front of the main cooling stack, your truck utilizes the thermal bypass system associated with the NHT or AHQ options.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Direct OEM Block Replacement: This unit is a complete billet replacement for the factory block found in OEM Assembly 52014523AB.
Prevent Transmission Failure: By removing the failure-prone internal thermostat, you eliminate the risk of the valve sticking closed, which is the primary cause of rapid transmission overheating.
Maximum Cooling Efficiency: Engineered to allow unrestricted fluid volume to and from the transmission oil cooler, keeping your 6.7L Cummins within safe operating temperatures during heavy hauls.
Premium Billet Construction: CNC-machined for precision fitment and anodized for a professional look and superior corrosion resistance.
Easy Installation: Features engraved flow marks for a clear-cut install and includes new replacement O-rings to ensure a guaranteed leak-free seal.

About ATS Diesel Performance

ATS DIESEL PERFORMANCE

ATS Diesel Performance, based out of Arvada, Colorado, is a diesel performance manufacturing company that designs, engineers, and manufactures upgraded transmission components, valve bodies, patented heavy-duty torque converters, exhaust and intake manifolds, electronics, turbochargers, dual CP3 injection pumps, and more for Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax powered diesel trucks. Operating out of a humongous 110,000 square foot facility in the heart of the Rocky Mountains allows ATS to keep operations in-house, as opposed to overseas sourcing, and then grueling test their products at altitude and through grades and descents that would make other companies think twice. From full-time RV users who travel nonstop to high-horsepower competition-based vehicles, ATS has the answers.

ATS DIESEL TRANSMISSIONS

Clint Cannon and Ranee Elder founded Automotive Transmission Specialists in 1993. At that time, the company specialized in transmission repair for all types of vehicles. In 1997, the company "Performance Torque Converters" was founded, and they started doing torque converter rebuilds in-house. Bringing the capability of building torque converters in-house gave them more flexibility to service their racing customers. As the popularity of diesel trucks grew and more people became aware of the power upgrades available for their diesels, problems with diesel transmissions emerged.

Clint started research and development into a more robust torque converter to address the transmission issues. It was discovered that a clutch pack design was the answer to providing a robust torque converter. The development of the TripleLok Torque Converter and the company's focus on Diesel Performance products resulted in a rename of the company to ATS Diesel Performance.

By having their foot in the door before most, it allowed ATS Diesels transmission upgrades to grow with the demands of diesel trucks, putting them at the forefront of reliability. Fortunately for us, Clint didn't stop with transmissions and began to explore and refine upgraded turbochargers, intake and exhaust manifolds, and anything else to generate additional power with the ever-present mindset of maintaining powertrain reliability.
