Unlock Your Truck's Potential: A Beginner's Guide to Adjusting Transmission Shift Points

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 12/11/2024

Adjusting your truck's transmission shift points can significantly enhance its performance by optimizing it for fuel efficiency, towing power, or a sportier driving experience. Shift points are the engine speeds (RPMs) at which the transmission changes gears, controlled by the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Adjusting these points can allow your engine to run more efficiently by operating at lower RPMs for longer, provide more power and torque for heavy loads at lower speeds, or deliver quicker acceleration for a more responsive drive. The process involves locating the TCM, identifying current shift point settings, and making small, incremental adjustments using a scan tool or following procedures in your owner's manual. It's crucial to make minor adjustments and test drive after each change while consulting the owner's manual for specific instructions and warnings. If unsure, seek professional help to avoid potential damage, with the experts at TTS available for guidance and assistance.

CVT vs. Planetary Gearset: Which Transmission is Right for Your Truck?

The text discusses the comparison between CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmissions) and Planetary Gearsets for trucks, highlighting the pros and cons of each. CVTs offer smooth acceleration, superior fuel efficiency, and eco-friendliness, making them ideal for city driving but are less suited for heavy-duty towing and tend to be more expensive upfront. On the other hand, Planetary Gearsets are robust and efficient for heavy towing, compact, and durable but can be more costly initially and less fuel-efficient in light-load, high-speed situations. The choice between the two depends on individual driving needs—CVTs for fuel efficiency and smoothness, and Planetary Gearsets for towing power and durability. TTS offers expert guidance to help truck owners make the best choice for their requirements.
