Update 9-6-24: Now available direct from me, DM with inquiries

Looking for some guys who have my current bypass valve and are willing to install and test a new aluminum cap to replace the factory one. No cost to you, I just want a couple users to get them in their trucks before I start selling.

Looking to get them out late next week.

I'll test one out. I'm about to change the fluid out.

Ok guys, got participants contacted and I'll be getting the first ones out late this week hopefully.

The first unit you see pictured here is now in my truck and fit great.

I don't have the means to test, but with this new plug there's less restriction inside the TMU going from port to port. Will it improve flow? Who knows.

These pictures are looking down into the housing where fluid would exit going to the cooler. A light is being shone into the housing as it would exit the trans. Same light location, just the two different plugs.

If these are not CARB exempt, can they still be used in the handful of eastern states (and maybe other areas) that follow CARB guidelines?

Are you looking to add/ship this new aluminum end cap with future shipments of the by--pass valve, or will it be an option to purchase with the bypass valve...

Let me know when you have stock and ready to ship (to Canada).

Thanks!!

After reading and re reading what chauk04 has built is perfect
This keeps everything flowing correctly and you still get enough heat to warm the trans from the cooler in cold weather as your rad shutters will be closed so cooler will add heat just less
Will be watching and will get in touch in April when I am state side for EJS Moab

PS advise if I am thinking incorrectly
