Per PPE:
Add another measure of protection and increase fluid flowto transmission cooler increasing cooling capacity withthe easy-to-install billet aluminum PPE Transmission FluidThermal Bypass Valve for the Ram Cummins diesel.
The OEM part has restrictive internal passages. Whenthe OEM valve fails in the open position, transmissionfluid does not reach your cooler. This can be caused bymechanical failure or debris. The result of stock valvefailure can cause the transmission to dangerously overheat.Without properly cooled transmission fluid, the demands oftowing and rigorous stop-and-go driving conditions shortenthe life of transmission components. The PPE Bypass Valve eliminates the extremely restrictivemechanical factory valve which maximizes fluid flow fromthe transmission cooler.
For further protection, a Neodymiummagnet equipped service plug has been added. Theremovable plug traps ferrous debris and can be accessed toremove particles from the system. The factory bypass valvedoes not have this feature.
- 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!
This PPE 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
