The Mishimoto thermal bypass valve kit replaces the failure-prone factory bypass valve on the 2017-2019 Chevrolet/GMC 6.6L Duramax L5P with the Allison 1000 transmission. The stock valve withholds transmission fluid from the cooler until operating temperature, but its thermostat can fail closed — starving the cooler and overheating the transmission. This CNC-machined billet aluminum valve includes a fully serviceable thermostat for fast cold-climate warm-up, plus an installable thermostat-bypass insert for constant cooling in hot climates or heavy towing, with machined internal passages and integrated heat-sink cooling fins. Black anodized, OEM/Mishimoto activation temp 185°F.
