2016 Chevy Silverado 6.2, max tow pkg, 17000 miles. I just wanted to share this info. I know it has been addressed and speculated on. My Silverado developed the intermittent shudder at about 58-62 MPH then it stops. It rapidly worsened to include hard shifts, and a shaking felt through the wheel,as well as visible. Bought to dealer, was informed they were, according to GM to drain fluid and replace it, I was to drive it for 250 miles, if it didn't quit to bring it back for further treatment. I took a loaner home. Shortly after arriving home they called, said they checked with GM and were told to replace the torque converter. Due to a regional storm I didn't return for several days. The truck runs like it did when new. Here's what I was told. GM received a , in a "bad lot" of transmission fluid which was used in the factory. Engineers finally narrowed it down to fluid which led to the conclusion. They believed if you drained the transmission fluid and replaced it with new drove the 250 miles it stopped the problem, if not then they had to replace the Torque Converter.This treatment only showed favorable results in a percentage of Trucks. When they notified GM of the present problem in my truck, GM authorized to forgo the fluid replacement in light of the failures and just replace the torque converter. ALL issues presented have been eliminated. Just wanted to share. Have a Great Day and stay safe all..........
