Truck Transmission FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Can transmission additives really improve my truck's transmission?

Hey there! Transmission additives can help, but it's best to be cautious with them. Not all additives are created equal, and some might not be compatible with your specific transmission. Always check your owner's manual for advice, choose a reputable brand, and follow the instructions carefully. Remember, additives aren't magic bullets, so if your transmission feels weird, talk to a qualified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and the best course of action.

My Chevy Silverado's transmission is making a strange noise. What could be the cause?

That's not a good sign! Transmission noises can mean different things, so let's get that checked out by a qualified mechanic. They can identify the source of the noise and figure out the best way to fix it. Don't ignore it, because the problem could get worse and cost you more later.

I have a Ford F-150 with a manual transmission. How often should I change the transmission fluid?

Your owner's manual is your best friend here. Typically, manual transmission fluid changes are needed every 30,000-60,000 miles, but it can vary depending on how you drive and where you live. Make sure you use the right type of fluid - your manual or a qualified mechanic can tell you what you need.
