Transmission Fluid Additives: Do They Really Work? Uncover the Pros and Cons for Your Truck

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 28/03/2025

Transmission fluid additives are widely debated among truck owners, with proponents praising their benefits such as noise and vibration reduction, improved shifting, extended transmission life, and leak reduction, while skeptics highlight their limitations, potential for damage, warranty concerns, and cost. However, additives are not a cure-all for major transmission problems, and using the wrong type or dosage can cause harm. For serious issues like transmission fluid leaks, professional repair is essential.

Battle of the Gearboxes: Sequential vs. Traditional Automatic Transmissions

Published on: 18/02/2025

Sequential gearboxes offer significant advantages over traditional automatic transmissions, particularly in performance contexts such as motorsports. These benefits include faster and more precise gear changes, increased driver control over gear selection to optimize performance, reduced power loss due to less internal friction, greater durability from a simpler design, and lighter weight contributing to improved vehicle performance and handling. However, sequential gearboxes also have downsides, such as a steeper learning curve for operation and less convenience for daily driving due to the need for constant gear changes. On a different note, transmission coolers can extend transmission life by preventing overheating, improve performance by maintaining optimal fluid temperature, minimize wear and tear on components, and increase towing capacity by ensuring proper fluid temperature under heavy loads. When selecting a transmission cooler, consider the type, size, and appropriate mounting location for your truck’s specific needs. While it is possible to install a transmission cooler yourself, professional installation is recommended to avoid voiding warranties and potential transmission damage. For expert transmission services, including a one-day turnaround for common Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy truck models, contact Truck Transmission Specialist. They do not handle semi-truck transmissions or offer DIY advice.

Unleashing Your Truck's Potential: The Pros and Cons of High-Stall Torque Converters

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 24/09/2024

High-stall torque converters offer advantages such as increased torque at low speeds, improved fuel economy, and reduced wear and tear on your transmission, making them beneficial for heavy-duty activities like towing or climbing hills. However, they come with drawbacks like increased engine noise, reduced high-speed performance, and higher costs. For off-road racing upgrades, Truck Transmission Specialists analyze your needs, choose the right components, and recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance. Aftermarket transmission coolers can improve performance and longevity while reducing maintenance costs, although they can be expensive and complex to install, possibly affecting your vehicle's warranty. When choosing coolers, consider air-to-oil for cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, or water-to-oil for superior cooling. The cooler's size and installation location should ensure good airflow for maximum effectiveness.
