Thanks for the video, I am about to do this to my Escalade 🤞🏽
Nice setup, stay humble and lay in the snow and pull a transmission, makes you stronger:)
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 🤙.
😢😢know 😢😢y
Bro i like how you carry yourself an talk lol you keep maken me laugh haha keep up the great work an thank for all the help i just bought a 2012 silverado 1500 an it shifting hard into 3rd so im thinking it might be the tranny but im hoping not
I love people like you, I just replied to a comment where the guy said he didnt have time to listen to me talk. I am NOT a mechanic. and these videos have helped so many people. I appreciate you, glad the videos could help in any way.
This was more entertaining the informative. I got a good laugh
I’m not a certified mechanic so nothing I say can or should be taken as the definitive answer to any automotive problem. I can say that what I did worked and has been working for a year and a half, 30,000 miles later and still going strong
@@SnowDrift absolutely, Most would've given up
@@skillz1855 maybe. I have the mentality that if I can do it pretty much any able bodied person can too.
I just threw the what seems famous p0741, 156k 2nd owner 4.3 Sierra nice videos though very informative, very detailed
Thanks man. Did my best under the circumstances
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
great video
Thanks!
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?
I have a 14 Silverado, it moves no more than 7 mph, reverse is fine fluid is good. I can recall a slight shudder before it happened. Any thoughts?
Do you have to program it?? Or was it just take off old one and out new one?!?
My 2015 Silverado v8 6 speed just turned 100k miles and started to do a shudder at 70 mph ; should I change the transmission fluid or just REPLACE THE TORQue converter .?
Any lifters issues?
Was your 1 2 3 gears making a winning noise all of a sudden with accelerating jetting and fluctuating rpms then when at sudden stop you try to go but truck sits there then jerks to move
No. I only had the shuttering problem. Starting and stopping wasn’t an issue
@@SnowDrift i think i was having the shuttering problems i just didn't think it was anything it all happened so fast within a week
I’m about to do this to my truck, I might be reaching out for help here soon lol.
I'm thinking about doing the same did you do yours yet?
@@Scott19 yeah I did, took me about 6-7 hours to knock it out. My truck is lifted so I just dropped trans on a transmission stand and left it under truck and then installed the new torque converter. Pretty quick install. Just had my dad help pull trans away from motor and make sure it didn’t fall off mount or move around to much.
@@MP3BOOSTED what torque converter did you go with? did you drop the t-case and trans as a whole?
@@Scott19 circle d from texas speed, kept the stall stock. I removed transfer case from trans to make it easier as I thought I’d carry out the trans myself before my dad showed up. Quite heavy alone
@@MP3BOOSTED well looks like i shoulda done this sooner just got code p0741 at 43xxx miles thought i would of gotten more out of this trans. Not sure where to go from here dealers just going to replace with same old crappy parts and i hear a trans from gm right now could take 6 months for a replacement.
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?
Well, I did this torque converter install at 150,000 miles, in January. It’s now nearly December, and at 170,000 miles she’s still running perfect.
GM replaces the torque converter and flush 3 times. I say, good enough for them, good enough for me. Make sure the place you go to to get flushed shifts between gears as it is being flushed.
I have the same vehicle I think my torque convertor is going. Out. The truck jerks when taking off.
Did you just replace with a new stock converter? Or upgrade to HD or billet?
It was a torco unit. Said it was rated for a 6l90. N
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!
@@SnowDrift yeah I'm going to drop the pan and check the oil and see what state it is in I feel like I may be screwed and have to go with the new Trans hopefully not thanks for your input I appreciate it
@@letsgoBrandon4200 best of luck to you.
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
Ridiculous how quickly these brand new transmissions can fail
I too have a 2014 Silverado 5.3L
get a range afm disabler. The shutter is from the motor not being balanced in v4 mode. Best 250 bucks i ever spent
I have deactivated my AFM. The truck still shook like crazy until I swapped the torque converter. 55,000 miles later and it’s still running
@@SnowDriftwhich torque converter did u reolace it with? A billet one?
My 2017 Chevy Silverado trans just started to over heat should this be the problem
Could be a fluid leak. I’d check the level first.
@@SnowDrift I’ll take it to the shop so they can look at it cause when I check it it’s clear redish but something is comes out dark burn
when do you recommend a torque change on 2014 5.3?
I would do a fluid change first and see how bad it is. My torque converter went bad at 150,000 miles. Really depends on how well it was taken care of.
@@SnowDrift appreciate good sir.
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.
Why sway bar
Question for you in regards to your torque converter issues. How bad was the torque converter acting up? Mines starting to go… just praying to god no harms done to my trans
It wasn’t terrible. I jumped on it as quickly as possible. Didn’t want to pay for a new trans. 30,000 miles later and it’s still going strong
@@SnowDrift I notice mine on the highway doing like 95kmh rpm’s bounce and truck lurks forward, Starting to do it intown now, not all the time tho. So tmrw I’m taking it for a free quote but ya I’m changing out my torque converter for sure regardless and within the week forsure
@@SnowDrift hey so I had my torque converter replaced. Transmission guy said my transmission was borderline with the amount of metal in my pan. He said he thinks I’ll be fine just doing the torque converter. To be honest I’m surprised I got that response. My truck just started lurking and I was driving it around really easy. Seems to be shifting good, but now I think I’m so paranoid about it when I feel a shift I’m like wtf was that😂😂. How much metal did you have in your pan? Lots of just a tiny bit
@@rob94rob94 I made a video showing how to drop the pan and hangs the fluid. I show it there
@@rob94rob94 how many miles did you have? Just got an 18 Silverado w 41k miles, about to do the fluid and filter change, thermostat change and would also like to know what else the truck was doing before knowing the torque converter was going bad. I want to be ahead of the curve before any trans damage
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
You ever get this fix?
@@CarlosAlvarez-cg6ph ended up blowing transmission ... Fixed it and got rid of it now I'm back in 99-06 GM truck and couldn't be happier... No payments insurance is couple bucks... Has 180k original everything... GM wishes they're trucks were still this good
@Mikey-wf9py damn that sucks, my 17 silverado has the shutter shake, but it shifts good, i was hoping just swapping a torque converter would fix the issue..
2016 sierra 5.3 145k miles i think i have this problem but my truck wont drive no more. I was able to drive it just a tiny bit after turning off and on again. Idk what to think of it
I would change the fluid for sure. If it’s having issues going into gear to move the the friction discs for the gears could be wore out.
@@SnowDrift ok so i changed the fluid and torque converter but it only lasted a couple weeks before i would feel a grind nd the truck lags while trying to give it gas also shakes while driving at times. Trans oil also looks like it has some kind of metal shavings or something. Im thinking i might need a tran rebuild
@@eddieg6214could be a problem in the pump or the valve body, do anything with that during the converter install? 6l80s are known for having the check balls in the valve bodies shrink or the valves themselves get stuck.
What was your truck doing when you knew you needed to change it ?
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.
For me it’s a 3 hr job only bc I know the routine involved in this job. I bet if you raised the truck a lot higher u would’ve got it done faster than before
Completely agree. I will have a lift soon
Did I miss why you came to the Reason for the change . I believe mine just went out and are researching info .
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.
Thanks for the video. I had fluid changed on my 2015 Silverado 5.3 at 80k miles and was told fluid looked good. He added some "Shutter Fix" as well. The shutter is better, but not gone completely. Should I go ahead and get this done at my next fluid change? I'm thinking once I hit 110-115k miles. Thanks!
Honestly I would just wait until symptoms get worse. The truck was still plenty driveable until I changed it.
@@SnowDrift Thanks for the reply. Definitely drivable, just wish it wouldn’t do it at all. Lol
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
@@bdub3871 it’s your torque converter. It will need to be replaced
@@SnowDrift HI, really enjoyed for videos on the torque converters on the Silverados. I have a 2014 with the same issues. Wondering how many miles your truck had on it whe you replaced the convertor and how many miles you've put on it since then? Thanks!
Sorry if comment is too old I'd do some research on a different fluid I just bought a 2012 called a shop asking about getting it changed as I'm not comfortable doing it I told them I had dextron six and thy said that's not right for it forgot what exactly je said but something about its not what gm recommends anymore "took them 15 years to figure I out. UT dextron six don't work for the 6speed"
I believe it is dex 6 for these trucks
What kind torque converter did you put in it?
Torco
Will you be uploading some cbr 1000 content? It’s gold.
When I have time. If stuff like this would stop happening then I’d have more time for the bike.
Yeah I could imagine, I’m in New York and it’s freezing cold so it’s depressing not being able to ride so I love watching moto vlogs lol
@@ABC-48483 I can’t imagine. I will make it my focus to make a motovlog for you in the next 5 days or I will burn my favorite t shirt
Dude ur awesome. I would love to see ur channel blow up and one of ur videos go viral. You put a lot of work and time into your videos and have regularly been uploading high quality content. TH-cam should recommend ur videos more often all I see on my feed is garbage videos.
@@ABC-48483 I really appreciate that. Id love to make videos every single day, unfortunately TH-cam isn't a full time gig, yet.
I was a Chevy fan until they pull this type of crap lol I’m trading it in as soon as I fix it
Mine went out today. Not even 80k miles. 2015 Silverado 6 speed 4WD.
That is crazy. Seems like these things go out at random. Some guys take great care of their trucks and they fail at 40k. Others never maintain anything and they last for 200k.
Mine too 2018
imagine just torching the exhaust flange nuts
before you blame it on the t.c. change the oil mine is a 2017 it used to shudder changing gears / brought it to the chev shop they said it was t.c. they took the tranny out and found out they didnt have the proper replacement t. c. so they changed oil and filter and said i would have to return i drove away and the tranny is working just fine
Is the 2017 not the 8 speed? I know that was the fix for the 8speeds but never regarding the 6 speed
@@wobwobwobination 2017 are 8 speed9
I did change the oil, made a video about it. It was definitely the torque converter. 40,000 miles later and it’s still going strong
Looks like your making a mess. But no judgement tho 🤣
No doubt, a mess was definitely made.
Too much chatter
Then do better. I’ll be waiting.
My 2015 Silverado v8 6 speed just turned 100k miles and started to do a shudder at 70 mph ; should I change the transmission fluid or just REPLACE THE TORQue converter .?
Fluid/filter/ probably has reusable gasket
Flush cooler & lines & swap converter. Use Billet converter.
