Here's what we can help you with:

Performance Upgrades:

Installing a performance transmission pan:

Absolutely! Upgrading to a performance pan increases fluid capacity, meaning better cooling and reduced wear. Look for pans made with high-quality materials like aluminum and featuring deep fins for maximum heat transfer. Remember, though, a performance pan is just one piece of the puzzle. Consider a transmission cooler as well for maximum protection.

Adding a transmission cooler:

You bet! Adding a cooler is a must-have for any Dodge owner who frequently tows heavy loads. It keeps transmission temperatures under control, preventing overheating that can lead to costly repairs or even complete transmission failure. Choose a cooler specifically designed for your Dodge model and consider its towing capacity when making your selection. Installation is best left to a qualified mechanic, so check out TTS's services – we can handle it for you!

Fluid Maintenance:

Choosing the right transmission fluid:

Always consult your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended fluid type. Using the wrong fluid can lead to severe transmission issues. If you're unsure, bring your truck to TTS – we'll make sure it gets the right love juice.

Adding transmission additives:

While some additives offer benefits like improved shifting or reduced noise, it's crucial to be cautious. Not all additives are created equal, and some can actually harm your transmission. Do your research carefully before adding anything, and consider consulting with a transmission expert like TTS first.

Service:

Recommended service intervals:

The service interval depends on several factors, including driving conditions, towing frequency, and the type of transmission fluid used. Generally, once a year or every 100,000 miles is a good guideline. However, it's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Early warning signs of transmission problems:

Be on the lookout for slipping gears, rough shifting, unusual noises, leaks, burning smells, and illuminated warning lights. If you experience any of these symptoms, don't ignore them! Ignoring problems can lead to more extensive damage and costly repairs.

Warranties:

You bet we do! At TTS, we're confident in our work and back all our rebuilds with a comprehensive warranty. This gives you peace of mind knowing you're protected in case something goes wrong.
