Published on: 29/05/2025

Luke from Truck Transmission Specialists emphasizes the crucial role of transmission fluid in maintaining truck transmissions, likening it to the lifeblood of the system. This fluid not only lubricates but also reduces friction, cools, cleans, conditions seals, and transmits hydraulic power. Warning signs that your transmission fluid needs attention include rough shifting, strange noises, a burning smell, and a change in fluid appearance. Using the correct type of fluid is vital, and you should consult your owner's manual or a mechanic for guidance. Generally, transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or more often in extreme conditions. Preventative maintenance is key to keeping your truck running smoothly.

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.
