Product Description
The ATS 310-001-2416 68RFE Transmission Cooler Bypass Fitting is a critical upgrade for 2015-2018 6.7L Cummins trucks equipped with the 68RFE transmission. Designed to eliminate the restrictive factory thermal bypass valve, this fitting allows for full-time fluid flow through the transmission cooler, significantly improving cooling efficiency and transmission longevity.
The factory bypass valve is known to restrict fluid flow, especially under high load or elevated temperatures, which can lead to increased transmission heat and premature wear. By replacing this component with the ATS bypass fitting, fluid is allowed to circulate freely, reducing operating temperatures and improving overall transmission performance.
This upgrade is ideal for towing, heavy-duty use, and performance applications where maintaining proper transmission temperatures is critical. Built with precision machining and durable materials, it provides a simple and effective solution to one of the most common 68RFE issues.
FAQ
Q: What does the ATS 68RFE bypass fitting do?
A: It replaces the factory thermal bypass valve, allowing constant transmission fluid flow through the cooler to reduce heat buildup.
Q: Why is this upgrade important?
A: The factory bypass can restrict flow and cause higher transmission temperatures, especially when towing or under load.
Q: Will this help extend transmission life?
A: Yes, improved cooling helps reduce wear and prolongs the life of the 68RFE transmission.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed with basic tools by experienced installers.
