Replacing the 6L80 Torque Converter & Upgrading to a Bulletproof Billet 

Got a 2015 sierra with 283000, rebuilt tranny. I got the same shudder so im definitely copping one of the billet converters and possibly a mew 6l80e. I dont mind spending the money as long as I can prolong the life of my truck. Im learning so much and its addicting. Thanks for the video

You got got some hilarious editing 😂

👍 Great Video! Please Read: If you haven't already, you NEED to upgrade your thermostat valve with new internals from TransGo, Superior Technologies, or GM. That cooler valve needs to be opening way before 195 degrees. This was a fault GM made and they've admitted it to the point of posting a service bulletin to upgrade this part.... of course they didn't recall ir, so unfortunately we have to pay for their mistake by purchasing these new parts and our transmission replacements. Good luck!

Great video helped me swap my trans yesterday! Thx a lot boys!

Nice work, regarding the thermostat theres also the option of flipping the thermostat upside down, it lets the fluid move free, will drop the temp 20 degrees or so

100% agree. My 6L80 went 248k miles on original tranny, finally torque converter broke.

Great video. It was a lot of work but looks to be a successful swap of the torque convertor. I'm needing to change mine out, I'm just wondering if you were happy with the torque converter you purchased so far?

The edits r funny lol

Do they make billet torque converters for the 4.3?

I have a 2019 1500 LD silverado 4x4 5.3 bro i just bought this truck last july, I still owen like $27k on it and the fucking torque converter is slipping, my rpms started spiking on cruise control up like 3-400 rpms randomly on a flat road, and it kept doing it, yesterday I was going to pull it around back to my garage, and it was lunching hard when i was taking off, like ten times it did lug lug lug lug and i was like oh shit its getting ready to grenade the trans lol. but i'm pissed, i bought it at 60k miles, it has 98k on it now i been driving a lot, but still my old F150, the torque converter didn't go out until 260k miles lol, i did that one myself but it was a 2wd, this truck is a 4x4 i never done a 4x4 there looks like a lot more shit to take off, and it looks like its gonna be heavy as fuck i got the truck parked, i'm not gonna keep driving it because honestly i cant afford an entire transmission right now, I'm debating if i want to tackle this myself or if I want to pay a shop to do it. I should have got that extended warranty they were pushin haha

"What is that" is not what you want to hear on the test ride.
