Torque Converter - 1500

[laminarflow]

Hey everyone, just looking to get a bit of advice.

 

I have a 2015 Sierra 1500 that I bought new. Now has 148K kms on it (91K miles). 6 spd with 5.3L.

 

Though research on this forum and YouTube I believe the torque converter is on its last legs. This truck hasn't towed or hauled massive loads ever; mostly used to haul camping gear, kids and skis around. So much for professional grade - haha. 

 

I plan to drive this thing as long as possible (at least for another 100K kms) any advice regarding further preventative maintenance while the transmission is pulled.

 

I've read that using a 2500 HD TC is a good option - does anybody agree? Anything else I should replace while the mechanics are in there?

 

Thanks everyone!

I'd use a 6L90 TC instead of a 6L80 TC, or Summit can offer some good aftermarket TC's.
