Transmission additives can be useful in reducing wear and addressing specific issues like shuddering or slipping, but they are not a cure-all for a failing transmission. Before using any additive, it's crucial to have your transmission diagnosed by a professional and consult your owner’s manual for recommendations. Proper maintenance is key to prolonging your transmission’s life, including regular fluid and filter changes, using the correct transmission fluid, and conducting routine inspections. Keep an eye on fluid levels, avoid overheating, drive gently, use appropriate gears, park on level surfaces, and heed any warning signs from your vehicle to prevent major issues. Truck Transmission Specialists offer expert services for routine maintenance or transmission rebuilds to ensure your truck runs smoothly for years.

To ensure a smooth ride for your truck by selecting the right driveshaft length, start by prioritizing safety: park on level ground, set the parking brake, shift to neutral, and secure the wheels. Measure the driveshaft by locating it and measuring both its collapsed and extended lengths, using the centers of the universal joint yokes as reference points. Consult your owner's manual for the original driveshaft length and search online resources like Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts for further guidance. If uncertainties persist, contact a driveshaft specialist with your vehicle details. Consider the type of driveshaft, any truck modifications, and ensure driveline angles are within acceptable ranges to avoid issues like vibrations. Double-check your measurements to prevent drivetrain problems and reach out to TTS specialists Luke Harrison and Tyler Spangler for expert assistance.
