Master the Fix: Resetting Your Truck's Transmission Control Module (TCM) Made Easy

Published on: 15/02/2025

If you're experiencing rough shifting or error codes on your truck's dashboard, resetting the Transmission Control Module (TCM) might help. This process requires an OBD-II scanner, safety gear, and your owner's manual. Generally, you need to disconnect the battery's negative terminal for 10-15 minutes for a PCM reset and use the OBD-II scanner to reset the TCM. Procedures can vary, so consult your manual. Notably, a TCM reset doesn't address underlying issues, and it's wise to refer to Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for known problems. For in-depth problems or professional resets, visit authorized dealerships. For expert help, Truck Transmission Specialists, led by Luke Harrison and Tyler Spangler, offer superior transmission repair and upgrades. Contact them for personalized support.

Spotting the Signs: When It's Time to Replace Your Truck's Clutch

Published on: 17/07/2024

A clutch is crucial in manual transmission vehicles, linking the engine's power to the transmission, but it can wear down over time, requiring replacement. Signs of a worn clutch include engine revving without acceleration, a burning smell, difficulty shifting, grinding noises, a high biting point, a spongy pedal, clutch fluid leaks, engine vibration, and car judder. Neglecting these issues can lead to severe transmission problems and costly repairs. Additionally, transmission coolers are essential for preventing overheating in trucks, particularly when towing heavy loads or driving in extreme conditions. To choose the right cooler, you must gather vehicle information, calculate the BTU rating, compare cooler sizes, and consider additional factors like cooler type and compatibility. While installation is manageable for those with experience, professional assistance is recommended if needed. The installation process involves preparing the necessary tools, locating and draining the transmission lines, securely mounting the cooler, connecting new lines, and refilling the transmission fluid. Monitoring transmission temperature post-installation is crucial, and professional guidance should be sought if high temperatures persist. For expert transmission services, Truck Transmission Specialists are available to assist and provide necessary upgrades.
