Experiencing transmission troubles with your Dodge truck? Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS) offer a comprehensive guide to diagnosing and fixing the common issues. Symptoms like sticky shifters, grinding noises, and jerky or slipping gears often point to problems either with the shifter/linkage or the Transmission Control Module (TCM). For shifter issues, visually inspect for damage, check fluid levels, and listen for unusual noises. When it comes to TCM problems, scan for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), inspect connections and wiring, and consider software updates. Address shifter problems by replacing damaged parts, tightening connections, and lubricating linkage points; for TCM issues, look into software updates or component repairs. If challenges persist, professional help from TTS is recommended for specialized diagnosis and repair, ensuring your truck is back on the road smoothly.

Mastering Your Truck's Gears: Troubleshoot and Replace Your Transmission Range Sensor

Published on: 11/04/2025

If you're experiencing difficulty shifting gears, a refusal of your truck to start in Park, or erratic shifting patterns, these issues might point to a faulty transmission range sensor (TRS), crucial for informing the Transmission Control Module (TCM) of the selected gear to ensure smooth shifting. To diagnose the problem, perform a visual inspection for damage, a multimeter test to check voltage output, or use an OBD-II scanner for trouble codes. If a bad TRS is confirmed, replace it by first disconnecting the negative battery cable, removing the faulty sensor, installing the new one, and reconnecting the battery. A TCM reset after replacement can optimize transmission performance. If you need professional help, contact Truck Transmission Specialist for experienced diagnostic and repair services.

Master the Fix: Resetting Your Truck's Transmission Control Module (TCM) Made Easy

Tyler Spangler

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.
