2002 Lb7 with a tow tune, tow 12K plus, 28ft toy hauler thru very steep and hilly terrain. Never had an issue with my OE converter but lost 5th gear after 460,000km's, so decided to upgrade, local single disc billet and have the trans built.
Last summer, going up a hill, rolled into it and it shuddered, limp mode. Happened a few more times, so I thought my trans was toast again, didn't have time to fix it, so I drop into into 4th and get the rpm up, no issues. Happened to me last weekend in 4th so of course, its not my trans but the converter. Blessing lol.
They'll warranty it but it wasn't even a year old, maybe 5000 km's. I could upgrade to their triple but looking at another $1400 on top of mine.
I can get an New OE LML for $650 brand new, is that the way to go or have them fix the converter and risk it again? Other options? I don't want to do this again, I have too much going on to keep doing this. Thanks.
