Tow/Haul Mode in modern Chevy trucks adjusts the transmission’s shift points for increased power and torque at lower speeds and enhances engine braking to reduce brake strain, ideal for towing, heavy hauling, and mountain driving. Manual shifting can further optimize performance: downshifting for better control downhill and upshifting for improved fuel economy on level ground. To extend your Chevy transmission’s life, ensure regular maintenance, drive smoothly, and respect your truck’s towing and hauling limits.

If your GMC truck is exhibiting symptoms like erratic shifting, hard shifting, or an illuminated transmission warning light, it may have a problematic transmission shift solenoid. Begin by checking the transmission fluid level and cleanliness, then use a scan tool to read any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that can lead you to the faulty solenoid. Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or loose connections and consider performing a transmission pressure test with the help of a certified mechanic. Once the faulty solenoid is identified, replace it with a new one that matches your truck's specifications, clear any DTCs with your scan tool, and test drive the truck to ensure the problem is resolved. For complex issues or professional assistance, the expert technicians at TTS, Truck Transmission Specialists, are available to provide top-notch GMC transmission repair and rebuild services.
