了解您的患者：如何识别Chrysler VLP模型

有人会认为关于在传输上工作的最简单的部分是识别您正在处理的模型。如今，不幸的是，它并不总是那么容易。我在一封电子邮件上帮助了技术人员传播据报道，论坛据报道，有问题的问题是巨型克莱斯勒FWD阀体。他和我都在想41te（A604），但结果不正确。他正在努力的实际上是41tes，也称为41te vlp。

VLP stands for "variable line pressure." This late-model 41TES incorporates a line pressure solenoid to control line pressure plus a line pressure transducer that provides feedback to the control module. The main reason for these two added components is to provide the computer with the ability to monitor and reduce line pressure during idle engagements to a more appropriate level based on the calculated load, the end result being improved fuel economy. The RWD configuration of the 41TE (known as the42RLE）also was modified in the same manner; Chrysler refers to it as a 42RLE-VLP.

So, just how hard is it to know if you are working on one of these VLP models? Thankfully, it turns out once you know what to look for, it is a breeze. Here are two pictures showing a 42RLE-VLP valve body and a 41TES valve body (图1）.

As you can see, you can't really miss those solenoid and sensor components. Notice that, aside from the mounting bracket, the line pressure solenoid is almost identical to the governor pressure solenoid found on the RE series. A second pass-through connector is mounted on top of the range sensor with a wiring harness to connect both the transducer and the solenoid (图2和3）.

The transaxle case in these VLP models has an extra hole next to the one for range sensor pass-through connector. The valve body and transfer plate castings are slightly different to physically accommodate the two new components as well as provide hydraulic passages for them. The pressure regulator valve goes to a one-piece anodized valve, and the separator plate has two extra holes. None of these parts are interchangeable between VLP and non-VLP units.

现在为不太明显的差异......记住技术人员在螺线管开关阀孔上用他的铰孔问题？好吧，事实证明，在2006年的某个时候，就在克莱斯勒转到可变线压力之前，它们也对电磁开关阀尺寸进行了三个非常微妙的变化。正如你可以看到的那样图4.：

• 小型线轴直径为0.003“较小
• The large spool is 0.033" larger (Sonnax classifies the two different valves by this diameter .420” for previous design and .453” for new design.）
• The biggest land is 0.040" narrower

For this reason, unfortunately neither the Sonnax oversized solenoid switch valve 92835-21 nor the solenoid switch valve plug kits92835-02K./92835-18Kfor the .420” early design will fit this .453” new design valve body. Also, since Chrysler made dimensional changes on the valves prior to the variable line pressure introduction, Sonnax distinguishes the valves based upon SIZE, not VLP or non-VLP. At first glance, it looks like the Sonnax solenoid switch valve plug kit92835-02K.随着直径的工作是相同的，但不建议使用。原因是，最具舷内的SONNAX结束插头实际上是0.040“比OE设计更宽为额外的支持，以帮助防止钻孔磨损。当阀门定位在末端插头上时，宽陆地的组合在Sonnax部分和OE卷轴的变化不允许相对于端口开口的适当的阀门线轴定位。

More importantly, even Sonnax oversized solenoid switch valve plug kit92835-18K不能用于.453“新设计单元。这里的最大危险是令人遥感的。Sonnax铰刀92835-RM.这个开关阀门的plug kit has a pilot on the end that relies on the switch valve bore to support and guide the reamer. If this reamer is used in a .453" new design unit, the larger bore does not properly guide the reamer and you will most likely ruin the valve body. You must use Sonnax oversized solenoid switch valve plug kit92835-22K.和铰刀92835-RM22or the92835-31Kand tool kitF-92835-TL31for the oversized switch valve and plug kit on .453" new design units.

NOTE:本文中列出的部件号仍然可用于.420“早期设计，以改善铰孔经验，结果和易用性，建议超大阀门套件92835-32K和相关工具包F-92835-TL32be used instead for the .420" early design.

VLP的引入也导致压力调节阀变化。在较早的PR阀门阵容中，非VLP阀体包括PR阀，低/反向升压阀，线路平衡塞和一对套管。VLP设计采用长，多阀芯PR阀门。在较新的阀体设计中消除了所有其他组件。可以通过用Sonnax套筒更换PR套筒来服务非VLP型号92835-07and/or replacing the PR valve with Sonnax oversized PR valve92835-24，取决于磨损的程度和位置。VLP型号可以通过Sonnax超大的PR Vall提供服务92835-29. Both of these oversized valves require tool kits and theVB-FIX阀体铰孔夹具安装。请记住，这些VLP和非VLP克莱斯勒单位之间的差异是我们能够识别的差异，但可能有其他人。至少现在您可以轻松识别较新的设计，并希望它有助于您对这两个转邮件的所有各种命名感更多地感。
