Keeping Your Transmission Cool: Service Tips and Benefits

Transmission Cooling System Service Frequency

Hey there! Good question about your transmission cooler. The service schedule for transmission cooling systems depends a lot on your truck's specific setup and how you use it. Here's the general idea:

• Every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good starting point for most trucks.

• Heavy-duty transmissions or those used for frequent towing/hauling might need more frequent servicing, around every 20,000 miles.

• If you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or frequently encounter extreme temperatures, aim for service every 15,000 miles to keep things running cool.

Always check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your truck model. Pro Tip: If you're unsure, just swing by TTS. We'll take a quick look and let you know if your transmission cooler needs some TLC.

Remote-Mounted Transmission Cooler Benefits

Thinking about upgrading to a remote-mounted cooler? Great choice! Here's what makes them stand out:

• Cooler running: They're typically bigger and placed in spots with better airflow, so they keep your transmission nice and frosty even when things get intense.

• More capacity: They hold more fluid, meaning they absorb and manage heat even better.

• Easy installation: Usually a breeze to install compared to messing with the factory setup.

• Less clogging: Less chance of debris messing things up and causing overheating.

• Looks good, runs good: Some coolers add a little extra style to your truck, too.

• Off-road & towing essential: If you push your truck hard with heavy loads or off-road adventures, this extra cooling is a must.
