Thank you for purchasing the ATS Co-Pilot. This manual is to assist you with your installation
and operation of the unit. If you are installing the unit for a customer, pass this manual on to
your customer for future reference.
Understanding the ATS Co-Pilot
The ATS Co-Pilot is recommended for use with light duty pickup trucks with a heavy-duty
aftermarket transmission and torque converter package are installed on vehicle. While the
Commander will still function perfectly on a stock transmission, factory transmission shafts are
weak and prone to breakage. The factory torque converter clutch will also fail if applied under
high load conditions. Factory computers are programmed to disengage lockup under certain
conditions which will protect the transmissions internal components under higher load. This is
when we recommend having a heavy-duty aftermarket transmission installed on your vehicle to
prevent transmission failure. If you have a stock transmission it is recommended that you leave
your Co-Pilot in a less aggressive setting when under high load conditions. ATS Diesel
Performance sells many parts for all levels of trucks that will strengthen your transmission and
