Mastering Truck Transmission Maintenance: Keep Your Rig Road-Ready!
Tyler SpanglerLuke from Truck Transmission Specialists emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance for truck transmissions, recommending fluid changes for automatic transmissions every 30,000 to 60,000 miles under normal conditions and 15,000 to 30,000 miles under strenuous conditions, while manual transmissions should have fluid changes every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. He warns about the dangers of clogged transmission lines which can cause overheating, reduced lubrication, rough shifting, decreased fuel efficiency, and costly repairs. Preventative measures include regular fluid changes, visual inspections, and using high-quality fluids and filters. Luke also advises meticulous documentation of all transmission services to support warranty claims and enhance resale value.
