Transmission Additives: Expert Insights for Truck Owners

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 27/08/2024

Transmission additives spark significant debate among truck owners, with commercials often claiming miraculous benefits. Tyler from Truck Transmission Specialists explains that while your transmission, a complex machinery, inevitably undergoes wear and tear, additives might offer temporary perks but can't resolve major mechanical issues. These additives claim to reduce friction, condition seals, clean components, and improve shifting, but their effectiveness is limited. Quality and compatibility are crucial, as some additives can cause damage over time. Regular maintenance with high-quality products is vital for transmission longevity. Consider additives for relatively new transmissions or minor issues but avoid them for major problems, and always consult a professional if in doubt. Tyler encourages truck owners to seek expert advice and contact Truck Transmission Specialists for any transmission-related queries.

Mastering Transmission Bands: The Key to Smooth Shifting and Truck Longevity

Published on: 15/07/2024

The transmission band in your truck is crucial for smooth gear changes; if worn or improperly adjusted, it can cause slipping gears, hard shifting, and delayed engagement, potentially leading to severe transmission issues. While complex adjustments are best left to professionals, you can check the band adjustment using the service manual for guidance. Similarly, maintaining the correct transmission fluid level is essential for lubrication, cooling, and smooth operation. To check the fluid level, warm up your engine, locate the dipstick, assess the level, and add fluid gradually if necessary. Regular fluid checks and maintenance, as outlined in your owner's manual, are vital, especially when towing heavy loads or driving under demanding conditions, to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your transmission.
