What’s the best aftermarket 6l90e? Don’t need anything built for power, I do a lot of hauling with the truck. I’m at 120k miles and the converter shutter has gotten very bad. Also best after market trans cooler?

I would just get the torque converter replaced. The version of the 6L90 in these trucks is supposed to have several improvements relative to earlier versions.

Curious, what kind of weights are you hauling?  That doesn't seem like many miles for an HD truck to lose it TC.

And what fluid has been used?

I towed a 12k fifth wheel with my 2021 Gas 3500 and my 2024 also. I never saw trans temps over mid 180's on either truck. If youre towing with a gasser and youre having heat control issues with the trans I would suggest it may be an issue other than the cooler. 

Had I kept my 2021  my plan was for a billet converter as soon as it was out of warranty.

A heat issue could be caused by the torque converter lockup function not working properly (which causes shuddering), so the shuddering and heat issue could both be cured by replacing the torque converter.

Update:

Have drained trans fluid and it’s slammed with clutch material. I’ve read and heard both that when it gets to that point it’s best to replace trans and get billet converter and pump housing I also got the thermal bypass valve ordered. I believe I’d like to go with a reman over rebuilt. Cost is very close either way. Any suggestions

The truck has 37” tires and a leveling kit trans fluid changed at 47k and 99k miles at gm. I know the tires don’t help I haul about 13-15k with the truck regularly. Does great just started having this issue. It also is making I high pitch knocking/clunking sound at idle and under load doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the engine

Try to find a reputable shop to go through it. Reman can mean very different things and the quality can/will vary wildly. Some will actually rebuild it, others will half ass it just enough to get you down the road. A billet torque converter wont be of much help if the trans is still junk. 

Find out specifically what the shop does during the rebuild.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
