Torque converter going bad?

17922 Views 7 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  2000atlanticgt
Have any of you heard about the tc's on the 99's having a problem? My truck rattles really loud at an idle, it does quiet down when I am driving. I want to fix this it drives me nuts, But I want to make sure I fix the right thing. Is there a performance difference with different torque converters?

Thanks for your help.

I just experienced the same thing, and it turned out to be the flex plate. Mine was busted pretty bad, but somehow it kept running. Same rattling sound-really bad at idle, but better when driving. Part cost me $175 plus 8 hours of shop labor. If you have the equipment to drop your tranny, do it yourself.
