Published on: 20/03/2025

Transmission additives can offer certain benefits, like reducing internal friction and wear, conditioning seals and gaskets to prevent leaks, and improving shifting smoothness in older transmissions, but they are not a substitute for proper maintenance or a cure for serious issues. Truck owners should always diagnose the root cause of problems first, consult their owner's manual for recommended fluids and additives, and opt for reputable brands tailored to their specific transmission type. For personalized advice or more serious concerns, Truck Transmission Specialists are available to assist and ensure your vehicle runs smoothly.

Luke from Truck Transmission Specialists explains the importance of regularly checking your truck's transmission fluid to avoid costly repairs. You'll need clean rags, gloves, and the appropriate transmission fluid. Begin by parking on a level surface, engaging the parking brake, and letting the engine run to warm up the fluid. Locate the dipstick, usually towards the rear of the engine bay, and check the fluid level and color, which should fall between the Add and Full marks and be bright red. If needed, add the recommended fluid carefully to avoid overfilling. For any uncertainties or further assistance, contact Truck Transmission Specialists.

Keep Your Chevy Running Smooth: Mastering Transmission Filter Checks

Published on: 06/10/2024

Checking your Chevy truck's transmission filter is essential for maintaining its optimal performance. Start by ensuring safety: park on level ground, cool the engine, and wear protective gear. Use your owner's manual to locate the transmission pan and fluid dipstick. With the engine running, check the fluid; good fluid is reddish and translucent, while bad fluid is dark or metal-laden. If the fluid is bad, replace it and the filter. To access the filter, drain the transmission fluid, remove the pan, and consult your manual for filter location. Inspect the filter for damage or debris and clean or replace it as needed. When refilling, use the recommended transmission fluid and confirm the level using the dipstick. Finally, test drive the truck to ensure it shifts smoothly and check for leaks. Regularly change the transmission filter every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or as advised, use OEM-approved fluids, and consult a mechanic for any issues.
