Engineered specifically for 2013-2024 RAM 6.7L Cummins and 6.4L Hemi trucks, this upgrade replaces the failure-prone factory bypass valve assembly, ensuring continuous, unrestricted fluid flow through your transmission cooling stack at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the factory, Dodge incorporated a thermal bypass valve into the cooling lines of the 68RFE, 66RFE, and Aisin AS69RC transmissions. Intended to warm up transmission fluid quickly in cold climates, the OEM valve routinely sticks, leaks, or fails in the bypass position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen this happens, transmission fluid bypasses the cooler entirely - recirculating superheated fluid directly back into the transmission. Over time, this extreme heat causes severe clutch slippage, burnt fluid, and premature transmission failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ATS billet cooler block completely eliminates the failure-prone internal thermostatic valve, forcing 100 percent of your transmission fluid through the cooler circuit. The result is a dramatic drop in operating temperatures and long-term peace of mind, whether you're daily driving or pulling heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Performance Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS Billet Thermal Bypass Valve Upgrade and Filter Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2013-2024 RAM 2500\/3500\/4500\/5500 6.7L Cummins \/ 6.4L Hemi (68RFE \/ 66RFE and Aisin AS69RC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-Time Fluid Cooling: Eliminates the restrictive internal bypass valve to ensure 100 percent of transmission fluid is routed through the cooler.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents Thermal Damage: Significantly lowers fluid operating temperatures under heavy towing, high ambient heat, and steep grade conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Billet Construction: Precision CNC-machined from high-strength billet aluminum for maximum durability, corrosion resistance, and a leak-free seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolves Factory Design Flaws: Stops the common issue of the OEM thermostat sticking closed and starving your transmission of proper cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Upgrade Kit: Includes the ATS Thermal Bypass Block, robust Clamp Plate, Billet Filter Coupler, and required sealing hardware for a seamless installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement Hardware Available: Need extra or replacement seals down the road?

The factory brackets are thin, cheap, and subject to wearing prematurely due to the materials and finish used from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the bracket is broken on your truck, the lines vibrate with the engine, creating a weak connection at the lines and junctions that will eventually begin leaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen this bracket breaks, the only OEM solution is to purchase an entire transmission line assembly for a few hundred dollars. Replacing that full line is a messy, time-consuming repair that leaves automatic transmission fluid (ATF) spilled on your garage floor while you try to calculate and refill the exact amount lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATS has solved that hassle with the ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Mounting Bracket. Our heavy-duty bracket is made of thick 12-gauge steel and is completely corrosion resistant thanks to a high-quality zinc plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bracket is built to stay strong and sturdy for as long as you own the truck, holding everything firmly in place and keeping your transmission cooling system working efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's the perfect fix for true peace of mind - knowing your truck won't start rattling down the road on your next long trip or while driving down a remote washboard road.
