Truck Transmission Care: Top FAQs Answered by Experts at TTS

Truck Transmission Maintenance FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Hey there, truck owners! We know your truck is your pride and joy (and maybe even your livelihood!), so keeping it in tip-top shape is a top priority. Here at Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS), we eat, sleep, and breathe truck transmissions, and we're here to answer some of your most frequently asked questions about keeping yours running smoothly.

How often should I change my transmission fluid?

This is like asking how often you should change your oil – it depends! Check your owner's manual for the recommended interval for your specific truck model. Generally, you're looking at somewhere between 30,000 to 60,000 miles.

Pro Tip: Don't wait for something to break! Regular maintenance like transmission fluid changes can save you major headaches (and repair costs) down the road.

What kind of transmission fluid should I use?

Again, your owner's manual is your best friend here. Using the wrong type of fluid can seriously damage your transmission. Whether you drive a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or GMC, the manual will specify exactly what your truck needs.

Can I add additives to improve performance or reduce noise?

We get it – everyone wants a little extra pep in their truck's step. While some additives can be okay, we recommend treading cautiously. Here's the deal:

• Always check your owner's manual first. Some manufacturers advise against using additives altogether.

• If you do choose to use an additive, opt for a reputable brand and avoid cheap, generic options.

Remember, sometimes those miracle cures can do more harm than good. When in doubt, chat with a trusted mechanic or give us a shout at TTS.

Can I flush my transmission myself?

While it's technically possible to flush your transmission at home, we strongly advise against it unless you're a seasoned mechanic with the right tools and expertise. Transmission flushes are intricate procedures, and doing it incorrectly can lead to costly damage.

Play it safe and leave it to the pros! At TTS, our expert technicians have the knowledge and experience to flush your transmission thoroughly and safely.
