Yeah I found your thread during my research. I hope it's just a flexplate. The metal on the trans filter magnet concerns me. I guess it's possible the previous owner never replaced it and it just built up over time......I hope.
Hey all you trans experts

SoCals billet flexplate/flywheel is what i use and highly recommend it.
Let me know if i can help with either, we stock both the BD flexplate and SoCals billet one.
Pull the internal filter and cut it open. they will tell you alot about what going on inside the trans.
I was looking at the billet one piece flywheel/flexplate but read somewhere that they are too rigid and can put strain on other hard parts. But I have no personal experience that's why I'm asking you guys. I will have to see if there is any damage to the flywheel when I pull the trans.
Awesome! Thanks Dustin. I will be dropping the pan in the near future for sure.
Before you start pulling the trans, make sure your dip stick tube for trans is not separated from its mounting bracket and rattling around.
Please excuse that post of mine. I had a dumb moment and I guess I didn't delete the post in time. Lol The bolts were all there. I was only able to get 1/2 a turn on one bolt so they were not that loose. It didn't fix anything next step is pull the trans and take a look at the flexplate. If I'm still getting metal in the filter I will go ahead and pull the trans apart also. Maybe once I replace/fix every part on this truck it will be good to go.
