Overview

The ATS Diesel Co-Pilot Transmission Controller is designed to improve the reliability and durability of 545-RFE, 65-RFE, and 66-RFE transmissions. It commands line pressure and internal clutch timing to increase the holding force of clutch packs and the converter clutch. This controller is ideal for trucks with oversized tires or modified engines that require adjusted line pressure for higher power levels.
Show original supplier description
The ATS 601-900-9272 Co-Pilot Transmission Controller is engineered to optimize the performance and reliability of your 2003-2018 Dodge or Ram truck equipped with a 5.7L HEMI engine and the 545RFE, 65RFE, or 66RFE transmission. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for trucks used for towing, daily driving, or performance applications where the stock transmission control strategy may fall short under load, leading to issues like clutch slippage. The Co-Pilot actively commands transmission line pressure and internal clutch timing to significantly enhance clutch pack holding force and improve converter clutch apply. By taking control when increased pressure is necessary, it minimizes slippage and delivers a more confident and responsive transmission performance. The system includes an in-cab controller for monitoring critical transmission and engine inputs, along with a plug-and-play wiring harness for a streamlined installation process. This controller is an excellent upgrade for towing scenarios, as it directly improves line pressure control and converter clutch holding capabilities under heavier load conditions. ATS Diesel backs this product with a 5-Year / 500,000 Mile Limited Warranty.
