PPE 225065000 Transmission Fluid Thermal Bypass Valve – 2013-2018 Ram 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins (68RFE & AS69RC)
Protect your transmission from overheating and maximize cooler efficiency with the PPE Transmission Fluid Thermal Bypass Valve (part #225065000).
The factory thermal bypass valve uses a restrictive thermostat design that limits fluid flow even when fully open. It is also prone to sticking or failing, which can completely cut off flow to the transmission cooler. The result is elevated fluid temperatures, accelerated wear, and potential transmission damage—especially under towing, heavy loads, or stop-and-go conditions.
PPE’s billet aluminum bypass valve eliminates the problematic factory thermostat entirely. It delivers unrestricted, full-time fluid flow to the transmission cooler for significantly improved cooling capacity and more consistent operating temperatures.
Key Features:
- Billet 6061 aluminum construction
- High-temperature neodymium magnet service plug (traps ferrous debris)
- Removable service plug for easy cleaning and inspection
- Direct drop-in replacement – simple installation
- Limited lifetime warranty
Fitment: 2013–2018 Ram 2500/3500 with 6.7L Cummins (68RFE or AS69RC transmissions). Also fits 5.7L and 6.4L gas engines in the same chassis.
OEM reference: Chrysler 68186711AA / 68186711AB
A smart, low-cost upgrade that helps keep transmission temperatures in check and extends component life.
