Truck Transmission FAQs: Get Answers from the Experts
Hey there, truck enthusiasts! At Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS), we get a lot of questions about truck transmissions. We're passionate about sharing our 18 years of experience to keep your trucks running smoothly. This FAQ blog post dives into some common queries we receive. Let's get started!
What's the Difference Between Sequential and Traditional Transmissions in US Domestic Trucks?
The key difference lies in how you shift gears:
Sequential Gearboxes: These require shifting in a specific order, typically one gear up or down at a time. Think of high-performance trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor.
Traditional Transmissions: These give you the freedom to choose any gear directly. You'll find them in everyday workhorses like the Chevy Silverado.
Which Transmission Is Better for Towing?
The age-old question! The answer, as always, is: it depends.
Traditional Transmissions: Offer a wider range of gears, beneficial for hauling heavy loads.
Sequential Transmissions: Can be more efficient for towing at high speeds due to their rapid shifting.
Consider your typical driving needs and towing habits to make the best decision.
Can I Add a Transmission Additive to Fix My Truck's Noise?
While additives can sometimes help quiet a noisy transmission, they're not a guaranteed fix. Here's a breakdown:
Identify the source: Pinpoint the noise's origin before trying any quick fixes.
Consult your manual: Check your owner's manual for recommended additive types and brands.
Choose reputable brands: Use additives from trusted manufacturers to avoid further damage.
Follow instructions: Always adhere to the product instructions carefully.
