The ATS Commander and CoPilot provide 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 and Co-Pilot resolve this issue by holding lock up offering better acceleration and cooler transmission running temperatures.

With the Commander or Co-Pilot 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 controller reverts to factory control of converter lock up. By allowing the torque converter to stay locked up, the controller provides some engine braking even without an exhaust brake. The Commander or Co-Pilot compliment 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 or Co-Pilot when you install an ATS Five Star torque converter and you've got the heavy duty construction and innovative design needed for the highest in reliability and performance from your torque converter.
