TTS Experience Blogs offers comprehensive know-how on truck transmissions, tackling fluid selection, decoding noises, additives, maintenance debates, and professional advice. Always consult your owner's manual for the right transmission fluid, especially for heavy-duty needs. Suspicious noises often signal fluid issues or leaks. Additives can be beneficial but should be chosen carefully and sparingly. The choice between a fluid change and a flush depends on your truck's condition; regular changes are typically sufficient unless severe issues suggest a flush. While DIY efforts are commendable, TTS advises professional handling due to the complexity and specialized requirements of transmissions, ensuring your truck runs smoothly for the long haul.
