Sorry I forgot to mention that about the electrical issue. At the same time my torque converter went out my transmission computer failed also. It was replaced along with everything else.

Alright. Appreciate it guys!

I asked the shop about an aftermarket torque converter and he's said he put a billet in a truck before and it still burned through it.

Clutch front cover and piston? Can you explain? I don't know a whole lot about transmissions. Thanks.

I have a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado that had transmission issues and eventually went down. The torque converter failed and it sent metal throughout the entire transmission resulting in a full transmission rebuild and a new torque converter. I have 13,000 miles on the rebuild and it has started shuddering again when under a load like coming up and over an incline. I pulled my dipstick and checked the fluid and everything is clean and clear until I run my fingers through the fluid. It's black and you can see little tiny metal shavings in it. I'm a heavy equipment technician at a CAT dealership so I know that's a sign that once again the torque converter is failing. I got a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty on the transmission so tomorrow I will be Contacting the shop that rebuilt it and will be asking for another rebuild. Also I took it to them a couple weeks ago because it felt like it was shaking a little when I would start to accelerate coming from a stop and he said that's just how those transmissions are and that it's the torque clutch converter and that I could get it turned of for gears 1-4. I did that and it helped but now my torque converter is obviously going out again. My question is after it's rebuilt again what can I do to prevent it from happening yet again. I'm on the verge of fixing it and selling it. I really would like to keep the truck but I don't want to have to be constantly rebuilding the transmission. I tried to get a picture of the fluid on my finger but it didn't show up.
