Transmission Additives: Benefits, Myths, and Smart Choices for Your Truck

Are Transmission Additives Helpful?

Hey there! We get this question a lot at TTS. Transmission additives: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em, right? While they can be helpful in some cases, it’s essential to approach them with caution. They're a bit like vitamins for your truck's transmission – they can help maintain things but aren't a magical cure-all for serious issues.

First things first, if you're hearing strange noises or experiencing problems with your transmission, don't just throw an additive in and hope for the best! It's crucial to figure out the root cause of the problem, which might require a professional diagnosis.

If you're considering using a transmission additive, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Consult Your Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual is your best friend! It often provides specific recommendations for transmission fluids and additives approved for your truck model.

• Choose a Reputable Brand: Not all additives are created equal. Opt for a well-known brand with positive customer reviews and a proven track record.

• Follow Instructions Carefully: This might seem obvious, but always follow the instructions on the additive bottle to the letter. Using too much or too little can be detrimental.

Think of additives as a preventative measure or a way to address minor issues. For major transmission problems, it’s always best to consult with a professional.

Boost Your Truck's Performance

Want to take your truck's performance to the next level? Upgrading your transmission components can make a world of difference! At TTS, we offer top-of-the-line performance transmission filters and coolers designed specifically for Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy trucks.

Performance Transmission Filters

Think of these filters as the guardians of your transmission. They ensure smooth shifting, improved performance, and can even help you save on fuel. Here's how:

• Smoother Shifting: Say goodbye to clunky gear changes! Performance filters reduce friction, resulting in smoother and more responsive shifting.

• Improved Fuel Economy: Reduced friction means less energy is wasted, potentially leading to better fuel efficiency.

• Extended Transmission Life: By keeping contaminants out of your transmission fluid, these filters help reduce wear and tear, potentially extending the life of your transmission.

• Enhanced Towing Capacity: If you frequently tow heavy loads, a performance filter can help your transmission handle the added stress more efficiently.

• Off-Road Ready: For adventurous souls who love taking their trucks off the beaten path, a performance filter can withstand the demands of rugged terrain.

Performance Transmission Coolers

Just like your engine needs a cooling system, so does your transmission, especially if you frequently tow or haul heavy loads. Overheating is a common cause of transmission failure, but a performance cooler can help prevent this.

Here's why you might want to consider upgrading to a performance transmission cooler:

• Prevents Overheating: Keeps your transmission running at an optimal temperature, even under demanding conditions.

• Cost Savings: By preventing overheating and potential damage, a cooler can save you from costly repairs down the line.

• Fuel Efficiency: A cooler, more efficient transmission translates to less strain on your engine and potentially better fuel economy.

• Durability: Built to withstand extreme temperatures and rugged driving conditions.

• Easy Installation: Many performance coolers come in complete kits, making installation a breeze.

Whether you're a performance enthusiast, a frequent tower, or simply want to give your truck the best care possible, upgrading your transmission filters and coolers is a wise investment.
