Unmasking Transmission Noises: Expert Tips for Truck Owners

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 27/07/2025

Truck Transmission Specialists, Luke and Tyler, explain that noises from your truck's transmission can stem from various issues: low transmission fluid, worn components, sensor malfunctions, solenoid problems, and torque converter troubles. Low fluid levels can cause whining, grinding, or clunking when shifting gears, while worn gears, bearings, and synchronizers can lead to whining, humming, or grinding noises. Faulty sensors and solenoids can disrupt the transmission's performance, resulting in rough shifting and associated noises. Torque converter issues may produce rattling, grinding, or whining sounds, particularly noticeable at idle or during acceleration. Regular checks and early intervention can prevent costly repairs, and for precise diagnosis and expert repair, truck owners are encouraged to consult Truck Transmission Specialists.

Unleash Your Truck's Potential: The Guide to Understanding and Upgrading Stall Speed

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 04/07/2025

Stall speed refers to the highest engine RPM achievable while the transmission is in gear with brakes applied, preventing wheel movement. It's significant in truck performance, especially with torque converters. A higher stall speed means the engine revs more before transferring power to the wheels, enhancing launch power. This impacts driving, where lower stall speeds favor smooth, fuel-efficient driving, while higher speeds boost torque and aggressive launches, ideal for towing or performance driving. Choice depends on your engine, transmission, truck weight, and driving habits. Upgrading to a higher-stall torque converter promises improved acceleration, towing capacity, and spirited driving but may reduce fuel economy, increase wear and tear, and cause less smooth low-speed acceleration. Upgrading involves selecting the right converter, removing the transmission, installing the new converter, and adjusting fluid levels—which is best handled by experts like Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS). Performance gains vary, but noticeable acceleration and responsiveness improvements are expected. Costs depend on model, labor, and truck specifics. TTS offers expert consultation and installation to achieve optimal truck performance.

Decoding Your Truck Transmission Warranty: What You Need to Know

Published on: 19/04/2025

Understanding your truck's transmission warranty is key when buying a new or used vehicle, as it acts as a safeguard for one of its most essential components. However, be aware of common exclusions, such as normal wear and tear, pre-existing issues, excluded parts like the clutch or flywheel, modifications, and commercial use restrictions. Warranties also have limitations, including mileage and time caps, deductibles, and required repair facilities. Factory warranties generally cover the transmission case, gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers, and parts specific to manual or automatic transmissions, along with associated repair and towing costs. Coverage duration and mileage limits vary by manufacturer: Ford offers 3 years/36,000 miles for gas and 5 years/60,000 miles for diesel, Dodge offers 5 years/100,000 miles for gas and 3 years/36,000 miles for diesel, while GMC and Chevy provide 5 years/100,000 miles for both gas and diesel. Key takeaways include thoroughly reading the warranty, asking questions if unclear, and considering extended warranties for long-term ownership. For expert transmission services, Truck Transmission Specialists are available for rebuilding and upgrades.
