ATS CoPilot Pressure Controller 03-07 Dodge 5.9L Cummins 48RE
Description
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have more control over the torque converter lockup on your 48RE transmission? Guess what....YOU CAN! The ATS CoPilot is designed to give the driver control over torque converter lockup, which is especially useful when used in conjunction with an exhaust brake. Factory computers are programmed to disengage lockup under certain conditions which will protect the transmission's internal components under high load. The big problem with this is that it means you are not in lockup under deceleration, making an exhaust brake essentially useless because that retarding power isn't making it's way to the tires!
The control panel on the face of the CoPilot allows the driver to adjust the lockup of the transmission once a certain amount of boost is created in order to avoid the engine being bogged down from excessively early converter lockup. Adjustment of the CoPilot is done with simple UP and DOWN arrows on the face of the controller that typically gets mounted under the dash, similar to a brake control.
About ATS Diesel Performance

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 gruelingly 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 TRANSMISSIONSClint 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 a company 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 didnt 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.
