Published on: 14/11/2024

To prevent your Ford truck's transmission from overheating, consider using a transmission cooler, which acts as an extra radiator for your transmission fluid and ensures optimal temperature, enhancing performance and longevity. The right cooler depends on your truck model and usage, with larger, more robust coolers recommended for frequent heavy towing or hot climates. Air-cooled transmission coolers, common in pickups, use airflow for cooling, while water-cooled variants in heavy-duty trucks use engine coolant. While DIY installation is possible, it’s complex and better managed by professionals like the expert technicians at Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS), who offer quick and efficient installation services. For more information, consult your Ford Owner's Manual or reach out to the TTS team for personalized assistance and resources.

Transforming a two-wheel-drive Ford truck into a four-wheel-drive vehicle is feasible but requires careful consideration of compatibility factors, such as the model year, drivetrain, and transmission. You'll need specific components like a transfer case, front driveshaft, shifter, and potentially additional parts, which can be sourced from specialized websites. This modification comes with significant costs and complexity, often exceeding $2,500, and typically demands mechanical expertise and specialized tools. For many, buying a used Ford truck with existing four-wheel drive might be a more practical alternative. Expert advice is recommended, and Truck Transmission Specialists can provide guidance, though they don't handle four-wheel-drive conversions directly.
