Published on: 22/09/2024

Adjusting the transmission shift points on your Ford truck can significantly enhance performance and efficiency for various driving conditions, from city cruising to heavy towing. Shift points, which dictate when your truck shifts gears, are influenced by factors like engine load and throttle position. For modern Ford trucks with electronically controlled transmissions, specialized tuning tools are used for precise adjustments, while older models may require manual adjustments to components like shift springs. Tailoring shift points can optimize acceleration, fuel economy, and towing capabilities. Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS) offer expert advice and services, ensuring high-quality parts and one-day service for many common models, to help you achieve the ultimate driving experience.

Unleash Your Truck's Potential: The Guide to Understanding and Upgrading Stall Speed

Unleash Your Truck's Potential: The Guide to Understanding and Upgrading Stall SpeedTyler Spangler
Published on: 15/07/2024

Stall speed refers to the highest engine RPM achievable while the transmission is in gear with brakes applied, preventing wheel movement. It's significant in truck performance, especially with torque converters. A higher stall speed means the engine revs more before transferring power to the wheels, enhancing launch power. This impacts driving, where lower stall speeds favor smooth, fuel-efficient driving, while higher speeds boost torque and aggressive launches, ideal for towing or performance driving. Choice depends on your engine, transmission, truck weight, and driving habits. Upgrading to a higher-stall torque converter promises improved acceleration, towing capacity, and spirited driving but may reduce fuel economy, increase wear and tear, and cause less smooth low-speed acceleration. Upgrading involves selecting the right converter, removing the transmission, installing the new converter, and adjusting fluid levels—which is best handled by experts like Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS). Performance gains vary, but noticeable acceleration and responsiveness improvements are expected. Costs depend on model, labor, and truck specifics. TTS offers expert consultation and installation to achieve optimal truck performance.
