I noticed it the other day. Stopped by and spoke to the contact at my dealership today, he went ahead and ordered a new converter for me and will call me once it is in hand. Then they will R&R the transmission and make sure the front pump is OK, if so they will R&R it and then put the new converter in the truck and fluid. Glad I caught it now before the truck hit the end of the 3yr/36k warranty next year. The 5yr/60k powertrain warranty is a crap shoot if it will cover anything.

What are the symptoms?  I have a vibration at 75-80mph and I've had the wheels balanced a few times. 
You will feel your steering wheel shake, it can be pretty strong and if you look you will see your rpms bouncing up and down. It feels like you running over the "wake-up" bumps on the side of the road.

Same here, my 2016 just go the shudder last week, going in today for the shudder. Of course my dealer acted like they never heard of it before, go figure.  I have been fighting them on the delayed engagement when I go into reverse after the truck sits overnight or 2, sometimes it slips backing out and I have to rev the engine a little bit to get it to move, other times it flat out wouldn't move at all, acted like it was in neutral. I had to shut it off and restart it to get it to move again.

Yeah the shudder will feel like you are running over the highway edge rumble strips, road could be smooth as glass and then all of a sudden you will get a rumble feeling. Nice thing is now I will get a new torque converter, new fluid and a free oil change all before 30k miles...lol

GM used to make the best transmissions period. I'm not saying they are the worst, but they can't be far from it.

Well so far all my dealership did was change the transmission fluid and filter. So far it shifts smoother and I haven't noticed the shudder yet, but I only drive it at most 5 miles per day now so I will try to drive it longer to see if it is fixed or not.

lol damn, i just started getting that and was thinking if thats what it was. now that i read your post i know it is. i had the cruise set at 60mph and was watching the RPM's bounce steadily up and down about 250-500 rpm's. then of course the rumble strip feeling. it goes away just about as fast as it starts. i just hit 32,000 miles. i'll wait until the next oil change in about a month or so to bring it in.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
