Transmission overheating in trucks can be caused by factors like low or dirty fluid, heavy towing, frequent stop-and-go driving, worn parts, faulty coolers, and malfunctioning sensors or solenoids. Diagnosing issues involves checking fluid levels, inspecting the cooler, monitoring transmission temperature, and noting symptoms like burning odors, slipping gears, or difficulty shifting. Prevention strategies include regularly maintaining fluid levels, servicing the transmission, avoiding heavy loads, driving smoothly, repairing worn parts promptly, and addressing sensor issues.
