rutwad started following Transmission Upgrade worth it??
-
I have a 2011 Silverado 6.2l with 6 speed transmission. I have read about the numerous transmission problems online. I would like to avoid issues if feasible. Truck currently has 87k miles. What upgrades should I consider to prolong the life of my transmission? Is it worth upgrading the torque converter? If so, which one? Does this require reprogramming? Currently running ARH Long tube headers, air raid jr intake, and Blackbear tune. No other upgrades planned. Thanks for any information or advice on advance!!

I have an exhaust leak on the driver's side. I thought it may be leaking at manifold, but dealer said the problem is usually the first joint. I checked to make sure the 3 bolt flange was tight. It may not be as bad now but still leaks. Exhaust wrap?? Would a small leak cause less low-end torque? Hopefully I have fixed a couple things on my truck to make it perform slightly better. First was a double win! I was taking off my OEM intake to install my Airaid Jr. and I found it had muddy water in it. So with the new intake and absence of water, I should be better off. I swapped my 3.42 gears for 3.73 which is a plus. But I swapped my stock tires for slightly larger BF Goodrich KM2's which are pretty heavy. I don't know if the gearing is enough to offset the tire difference or not. Lastly I uninstalled my Hypertech and am going with the BBP tune!!! Can't wait after reading all the good things about it.

As far as my 6.2L, is there anything I should check concerning power? An older friend said it sounded like it may have a slight skip, but I think he may have heard the exhaust leak instead. Anyway, I will replace the plugs, but anything else? Also I notices I am missing a screw for the airbox lid. Is this a dealer only item? It looks almost like a wood screw with a collar near the head.
