OEM units are typically made with stamped metal components and the stall speed is not matched to the motor's torque curve.

ATS Triple Lok and Five-Star converters completely eliminate these weaknesses.

ATS features a patented square tab clutch design, cut CNC steel, redesigned stators, torrington bearing and stall speed match to the Duramax motor.

Both the Triple lock and Five Star are designed to holding increase torque while efficiently transferring it to the transmission and rear wheels.

The results is more power to the ground, fuel economy, lower transmission temperatures and grater overall performance power.

Duramax Glow Plugs Operation Glow Plug Relay

Cold Weather Starts and Glow Plugs Glow Plug System Description Duramax diesel engine, air alone is compressed in the cylinder. Then, after the air has been compressed, a charge of fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and ignition occurs, due to the heat of compression. Eight glow plugs are used as an aid to starting. The glow plug initial ON time will vary based on the system voltage and temperature. Lower temperatures cause longer ON times all the times. The ECM provides glow plug operation after starting a cold engine. This post-start operation is initiated when the ignition switch is returned to Run, from the Start position. This operation helps clean up excessive white smoke or poor idle quality after starting.
