At Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS), we are dedicated experts in heavy-duty truck transmissions for brands like Ford, Dodge Ram, GMC, and Chevy. Transmission issues like slipping gears often indicate your truck is overburdened, prompting the need for immediate attention to prevent costly damage. Overloading your truck can severely strain its transmission, much like running a marathon with ankle weights, potentially leading to overheating and breakdowns. To avoid such issues, heed your truck's weight limits, ensure even load distribution, and maintain regular transmission service, including fluid changes and inspections. Upgrading to heavy-duty components can also benefit frequent heavy haulers. If your check engine light appears, use a diagnostic scanner to read common trouble codes (e.g., P0700, P0730, P0740, P0750) and consult TTS for accurate diagnosis and repairs. We're committed to maintaining your truck's smooth performance and longevity.
