Posted by Truck Transmission Specialists

Here at Truck Transmission Specialists, we get a lot of questions about truck transmissions. And that's a good thing! We want you to be informed about your vehicle, and we're always happy to share our expertise.

So, let's dive into some of the most common questions we receive, along with our answers:

My Ford F-150 transmission is slipping. Is it fixable?

It's not uncommon for transmissions to experience issues over time. F-150s are known for their tough transmissions, but they're not invincible. Slipping can indicate a worn clutch or other internal problems. Don't worry, though! TTS specializes in Ford transmissions. We can diagnose the issue and offer repair or rebuilding options to get you back on the road quickly. Give us a call or visit our website for a free quote!

How often should I change the transmission fluid in my Chevy Silverado?

Great question! Checking your owner's manual is always a good start, but as a rule of thumb, Chevy Silverado transmissions generally benefit from fluid changes every 50,000-100,000 miles. However, depending on your driving habits and conditions, you might need more frequent changes. TTS offers high-quality fluid changes and expert advice to keep your Silverado's transmission healthy.

My GMC Sierra transmission is making a weird whining noise. What could it be?

Whining noises can come from various sources in a transmission. It could be low fluid levels, worn bearings, or even a problem with the torque converter. Identifying the specific noise is crucial for proper diagnosis. At TTS, we have the expertise to pinpoint the issue and provide you with the best repair solution for your GMC Sierra.

I'm thinking about buying a used Dodge Ram with high mileage. Should I be worried about the transmission?

Buying a used truck with high mileage can be a smart move if you choose wisely. While transmissions can wear down over time, proper maintenance and driving habits can significantly extend their lifespan. At TTS, we recommend having the transmission inspected by a qualified mechanic before purchasing any used vehicle. Remember, we specialize in Dodge transmissions and can offer expert advice and potential rebuild options if needed.

Can I add a transmission cooler to my truck myself?

Adding a transmission cooler yourself is possible with the right knowledge and tools. However, if you're not comfortable tackling this job, TTS offers professional installation services for transmission coolers. We can ensure it's done correctly and maximize the benefits for your truck's transmission.
