Starting this thread to consolidate some information that we've been discussing (https://www.ramforum.com/threads/revmax-8-speed-thermostat-bypass.171776/unread) on the topic of keeping the 8hp70 cooler than stock.
Here you'll see the thermostat assembly broken down into its individual components.

I have parts on order to make my own device to bypass the heater and flow fluid through the cooler up front all the time. You'll reuse the black plastic plug and the pin next to it. If someone was to purchase the brass plug from revmax, it should work as well but I don't have one to be sure.
I should have something made up this week, will update this post then. End game, I'd like to make these available to purchase but we'll see.
