What happens if the factory bypass valve fails?

If the factory cooler bypass valve jams in the recirculation mode due to debris, transmission fluid won't flow through the cooler. This can cause transmission temperatures to rise, potentially leading to overheating and premature failure.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit is designed to eliminate the factory bypass valve. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details on any additional hardware or procedures required.

Will this bypass delete affect my transmission's warm-up time?

By keeping fluid flowing through the cooler constantly, this bypass delete may slightly increase the time it takes for your transmission fluid to reach optimal operating temperature in very cold conditions. However, it significantly reduces the risk of overheating during normal operation and under load.

Product Details

Doing a transmission service on your 2013-2018 Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L engine? If you've got the 68RFE or Aisin AS69RC transmission, you might want to consider this cooler bypass delete from BD Diesel. The factory bypass valve can get jammed up with debris, causing it to stick in the recirculation mode. When that happens, fluid doesn't flow through the cooler, and your transmission temperature can climb, leading to premature wear or failure.

This bypass delete kit effectively removes that failure-prone factory valve. By installing this, you ensure that transmission fluid is always flowing through the cooler, helping to keep your transmission temperatures as low as possible. It's a well-built piece that directly replaces the stock valve, making sure your transmission stays cooler under load.

If you're towing heavy or just want an extra layer of protection for your transmission, eliminating this potential failure point is a smart move. It's a straightforward way to improve the reliability of your cooling system.
