SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
At ambient temperatures of -15 degrees F or below, vehicles equipped with auxiliary transmission coolers may experience a lack of transmission fluid
flow to the transmission. At these low temperatures, the automatic transmission fluid might freeze in the transmission cooler lines restricting fluid flow.
This can cause damage to the transmission, and in periods of extended driving, transmission failure may result.
DIAGNOSIS:
The cold weather by-pass kit should be installed if any of the following conditions are met:
1.
If the vehicle is used in areas of extended cold ambient temperatures (below -15 degrees F).
2.
If the transmission has failed in cold ambient temperatures, install the bypass kit when repairing or replacing the transmission. Follow proper
cooler flushing and transmission replacement procedures found in the Dodge Ram Service Manual.
Note
IN HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, THIS KIT WILL DECREASE THE COOLING CAPACITY OF THE TRANSMISSION1S COOLING
