So my brother has a 2017 Chevy Colorado zr2 with 80k miles. He recently went to get new tires. The people told him that he’s gonna need a new torque converter. The reason they told him is because since the truck vibrates at low speeds (which I felt myself but i assumed it was the off road tires) and also those trucks are known for the toque converters to go out early. They told him it will be around a $1k job, before it breaks up and ruins the entire transmission.
does this make sense? He doesn’t have any check engine lights. Nor any problems with the transmission
The only complaint he’s had recently is that his night lights seem dim. My guess it’s either the lights or alternator he replaced the battery recently. I will try to drive his truck so I can further update on this. Thanks all I just want to make sure my brother isn’t getting ripped off
which transmission?
If he is worried about the torque converter, find a transmission pro and have the transmission checked.
there are a lot of things that can cause vibration. Unbalanced wheels, bent wheels, unbalanced shafts, worn u-joints, worn motor mounts, warped brake discs, etc. etc ....
More information is needed.
