Transmission additives can help, but it's important to use reputable brands and follow instructions carefully as they might not always be compatible with your specific transmission; consult your owner's manual and a qualified mechanic. Strange noises from a Chevy Silverado's transmission should be checked by a mechanic to prevent worsening problems. For a Ford F-150 with a manual transmission, fluid changes are usually needed every 30,000-60,000 miles, but consult your owner's manual or a mechanic for specifics.
