Finally here is a pic of the bore that the TBV fits into. It is forward facing as the heater is mounted on our Rams. I would have already removed mine, but getting to it, particularly that snap ring is difficult as a lot of stuff needs to be removed to gain access on 4x4 models, not as much on 2x models.
That hole in the top of the bore is the return for the ATF from the trans cooler. It is blocked by the TBV and as the fluid heats the TBV gradually lets cooled fluid flow and mingle with the heated fluid.
