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.

Upgrading your truck's transmission fluid pump for improved fuel efficiency is generally not worth it, as the gains in fuel economy are minimal due to primary influences such as engine performance, vehicle weight, and driving habits. Exceptions exist for trucks already facing transmission issues or undergoing a major overhaul, where a higher-capacity pump might be beneficial. For better fuel efficiency, focus on regular maintenance, adopting proper driving habits, and reducing vehicle weight. For personalized advice, Truck Transmission Specialists are available to help with expert recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
