The ATS Commander® provides you the ultimate in push-button control over when
the torque converter locks up in your vehicle, allowing you to select the vehicle
speed where the torque converter clutch will engage (lock up) and disengage. Your
truck's factory programming doesn't initiate lock up until cruising speed and
disengages lock up early under many conditions, inhibiting your truck's performance.
The Commander resolves this issue by holding lock up offering better acceleration
and cooler transmission running temperatures.
With the Commander turned on, minimum speed for lock up is approximately 18mph.
This safety feature removes worries of killing or lugging the engine, as there's
no manual switching required to unlock the converter clutch when coming to a stop.
With the power off, the Commander reverts to factory control of converter lock
up. By allowing the torque converter to stay locked up, the Commander provides
some engine braking even without an exhaust brake. The Commander compliments an
exhaust brake perfectly and integrates seamlessly into any exhaust brake system
by automatically commanding torque converter lock up when the exhaust brake is
energized. This means a transfer of all of your exhaust brake's power to the transmission,
giving a much more significant impact at the wheels. The ability to hold lock
up during exhaust braking makes a night & day difference in your exhaust brake's
end performance!
Install the Commander with an ATS Five
Star torque converter in place, and you've got the heavy duty construction
and innovative design needed for the highest in reliability and performance from
your torque converter.
