ATS Diesel Performance
Commander and Co-Pilot
The
ATS Commander® lockup controller provides control over converter
lockup in your vehicle. Factory computers are programmed to
disengage lockup under many conditions that often inhibit the
performance of the transmission.
With a Five Star Torque Converter in place, unlocking the converter
are no longer an issue thanks to the HD construction of the Five Star.
Push button
control allows the driver to select the speed at which the converter
clutch will engage and disengage. With the power off, the Commander
reverts to factory control. Minimum speed for lockup is approximately
18mph. This means that the engine will not be killed by forgetting
to unlock the converter clutch when coming to a stop. The Commander
offers better acceleration and cooler running, as well as giving
the user braking or holdback (even without an exhaust brake). If
an exhaust brake is in place, the Commander has the ability to automatically
control the brake and converter clutch.
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!!
