Does the ATS pump kit come with a converter flow valve and spring . I called their customer support and they told me it doesn't But the directions I found on the internet show a valve and spring install .

That's the trouble with their support. They haven't a clue what they sell. It took me 10 min to convince them that they had an updated oil supply line that was advertised on their site for at least 5 mos.
yeah thats kind of what I figured . I just wanted to make sure what I am going to get before I order . I gave him the part # and I am sure he was reading off of a screen . He said they came with a pressure regulator valve ( which I assume is the converter flow valve ) But said there was no spring .
ATS does not use a converter flow valve in their pump kit. They have a special pressure regulator valve that is hollow and is suppose to do two jobs at once. You use the stock flow valve with this setup.
I've also heard if you have the transgo valves, not to use a copilot. Some say they dont play well together.
Personally I don't care much for the copilot on a ats trans it is not very consistent in my experience, one shift may be normal and the next a neckbreaker. Downshifts with mine were horrible too.
i'm pretty sure a bunch of that is the ats pump kit, my ats tranny that came with my truck runs pretty damn hot.
Well running both together makes even more heat. Did this over 2 years ago. When I first did this I drove about 20 miles on the interstate and my temps started at 170 and went to 225 in that amount of time. With the stock lbz cooler the coolest it would run was 225-220 once it got to those temps. Two huge aftermarket coolers and custom piping to make them work kept temps in check. Trans ran that combo for 50,000 miles. Left my hands that way and my friends brother put another 15,000 on it before he sold it for more money than I sold it to him for. I wouldn't run both again in a daily driver like my lbz was. In a track specific truck maybe.
Damn, beat me to it.
I would like to know more specifics on the ATS pressure regulator valve. Was it hollow on one end? The new ones are.
To be honest I cant remember if it was, I'm leaning towards it wasn't. I remember Randy getting his and it was different than mine was and I thought it was cause his was
hollow.
