The factory cooling system utilizes an inline thermostatic bypass valve designed to keep fluid bypassing the transmission cooler until the vehicle warms up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Fatal Flaw:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over time, the factory thermal valve is notoriously known to get stuck in the \u003cstrong\u003eclosed position\u003c\/strong\u003e. When this happens, it completely restricts all transmission fluid flow to the transmission cooler.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terrifying reality is that while your transmission is literally cooking itself to death, a reservoir of perfectly useful, chilled transmission fluid is sitting completely trapped in the cooler, unable to return and save your internal components because the factory valve refuses to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 30-Minute Countdown to Disaster\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a thermal bypass valve sticks closed, the window of time you have to notice and catch the rising temperatures is incredibly small.

Usually, by the time you notice a warning light or feel a slipping gear, it is already too late—your transmission fluid has been thermally compromised, and permanent internal clutch and torque converter damage has already begun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATS Thermal Bypass Valve Upgrade is a permanent, cheap insurance policy that completely removes this failure point from your vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- APPLICATIONS \/ VEHICLE FITMENT --\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-fitment\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Application Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ATS Upgrade is universally compatible with Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles equipped with the 5-speed 722.6 \/ NAG1 \/ W5A580 automatic transmission utilizing a factory thermostatic bypass block:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; max-width: 800px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYears\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012–2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWrangler (JK \/ JKU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6L V6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005–2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrand Cherokee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L SRT8, 3.0L CRD Diesel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006–2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommander\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.7L HEMI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006–2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7L\/3.5L V6, 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L\/6.4L SRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2008–2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChallenger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5L V6, 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L\/6.4L SRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005–2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7L\/3.5L V6, 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L SRT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2011–2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurango\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2007–2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0L V6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005–2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrysler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 \/ 300C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7L\/3.5L V6, 5.7L HEMI, 6.1L SRT8, 3.0L Diesel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004–2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrysler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossfire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2L V6 \/ 3.2L Supercharged V6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006–2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMercedes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSprinter Van\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7L \/ 3.0L V6 CRD Turbo Diesel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.9em; color: #555; margin-top: 5px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Please verify your vehicle features the external transmission line thermostat assembly prior to ordering.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"ATS Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52802022375700,"sku":"310-010-8260","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2869\/1732\/files\/310-010-8260-1.jpg?v=1783982510","url":"https:\/\/atsdiesel.com\/products\/ats-nag1-722-6-w5a580-thermal-bypass-valve-upgrade-for-2002-2018-jeep-2005-current-dodge-chrysler-mercedes","provider":"ATS Diesel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
