Hello Gents,
I have the notorious torque converter shudder in my 2016 1500 LT with the 5.3 6 speed. I had the flush done and the new style fluid and additive put in from the dealership..... NO CHANGE. Took her over to AAMCO and they diagnosed it as a torque converter failure as did another Chevy dealership. My question is rather than paying the $4300 to the dealer for a full rebuild why not buy the $450 converter from the dealer and put it in myself. I don’t have $4300 laying around after buying a $27k truck 6 months ago..... for me the converter swap is easy work I just don’t know if there is programming or other issues I may run into? Thank you
