My Silverado has been on ramps for 3 days. Im not procrastinating or anything…😉. I watched this video because I was desperately hanging on to the thought that I just needed to replace ujoints…after watching this video I’m still hanging on to the same thought 😆. Im just waiting for the motivation to swap torque converter. Literally just finished replacing the oil pump a week ago. Im just hoping I don’t wait until winter 🤙.

Thanks for the video, I am about to do this to my Escalade 🤞🏽
My flex pipe bolt broke off as well, I just used a cut wheel and cut the bolt in half, the drilled it out of the clamp, slipped a grade 8 1/4” bolt and nut with lock washer thru the clamp for the fix
Nice setup, stay humble and lay in the snow and pull a transmission, makes you stronger:)

I have a 2014 Silverado and I had two codes come up, transmission control module and the pressure control solenoid valve, any ideas if the torque converter needs to be replaced as well?
This was more entertaining the informative. I got a good laugh

I'm wondering if possibly you could help me with the situation I just bought a 2015 Silverado with $113,000 MI right away it makes a grinding noise almost and slips in first gear while cold it gets better throughout the day but it's pretty bad and it shakes like hell when I'm doing about 60 miles an hour I don't know if that has anything to do with it I'm just kind of stuck right now with $600 a month payments and no warranty just curious if I should go ahead and change the torque converter maybe that will fix it

The trans may be too far gone. I caught mine pretty early. I would suggest you drop the pan and see what condition the fluid is in. You can try a torque converter since you would replace it with a rebuilt or new trans anyway. Good luck!

Great video bud I have similar issues going on on my 2015 LT suburban took it into a transmission shop ran a diagnostic and was told my torque converter is going out and have light metal shavings they want to rebuilt my tranny $3.700 so after watching this video is it okay to just replace the torque converter and run everything else as it is just do a fluid flush how do yours turn out any issues after?

Same thing as you. I did a bunch of research after the truck started shuttering and took a gamble on the torque converter instead of having the whole transmission rebuilt. Almost 50,000 miles in and no issues.
This is a year later but I have a 16' 5.3l 6l80 4x4... Truck was fine I bought it with 68,000 now it has 82,000 on it. I had the fluid changed cuz it did shift a little hard going into third sometimes they changed the fluid they said it was good a little brown but not burnt still red. And it's still pretty clean right now but I bought new tires for it no lift or nothing stock size stock everything just so I got all terrains but they're stock the size and I did a burnout and dirt just went sideways barely even ripped it and then I started getting a shutter on the way to work. Shutters right when I get to cruising speed sounds like a torque converter right but the motor is still mint and it shifts great ever since I change the fluid it's shifts great... Now I got the shutter I parked it literally drove it home and parked it You think I can get away with just doing a torque converter or should I bring it to a shop and see if I did more damage... Still shifts great so hopefully trans is ok well see 🤞🤞🤞🤞.. no check engine light either

I have a question great video by the way and info given, I have a issue with my 2016 Chevy silverado 2500HD 4x4 with the 6.0, no metal in the tranny pan of any kind just the i call it mud stuff on the magnet, the truck tranny in this winter weather is running 151 at max and in the past summer towing was 177 max, everyhting on truck fluids and all are perfect, no dtc codes and no tranny codes. I am getting a shudder only on hills here an their for a brief 3 second time lines nothing else, i do all my work becauses as i have talked to tranny shops many they say well turck has 215k miles on it drop a new tranny in it, Im thinking this is pointing me in my research and your video that this could be a U joint issue as they are orginal or a torque converter issue just starting any inputs for help. it is a 6L90E tranny always have serviced it 40k mark fluid and filter no flushes just dump refill change filter and then drive 3-5 times and dump fluid to get as clean as possible. I think this issue is a torque converter issue.

Strong Shuttering under light acceleration. Fluid looked awful. Abundance of metal shavings in the pan. And if not changed soon then likely would have to replace the entire trans or have it rebuilt.
Really should be a class action lawsuit. Adding fluid to fix an issue a dealer service bulletin. Saw dust works better. 83000 miles 2017 GMC Sierra 6 speed just pulled out the transmission. Crazy the amount of metal shavings I saw

Hey there, so I am having issues with my 2014. I started to noticed when towing my tow hauler up hill in 1st-3rd. It’s almost a jumping feeling/sound. Also when I’m not towing anything, and punch it from 0, I will get the same jumping feeling and my truck seems to shift different. The RPMs seem to have a little hiccup as it will going higher for a sec, then drop back down to shift. I took truck to my cousins dealership where I bought the truck. They dropped the trans pan, no metal flakes, and fluid looked pretty good. They flushed the trans and $300 later gave me my truck back. No change. No codes are showing either. Any input would be greatly appreciated
