Torque Converter Bolts Loose

[nmajor18]

Started my truck the other day and was greeted with an awful rattle from what sounded like a loose heat shield above the exhaust. Drove the truck a couple hundred miles that day but noise always would go away and then come back at start-up. Dealer picked the truck up and after investigating determined that I had "several" loose bolts on the torque converter! However, they couldn't just tighten them and send the truck back to me. Apparently there is a new design of the bolt and had to wait two days for the new bolts to arrive. 3,100 miles on a 10/27 built Limited. Anyone else had this problem?

May have damaged the fly wheel and they have to replace it.....

Crossing my fingers.... I have a great dealership that took the truck back to their shop 45 miles away, left me a loaner and then swapped me back out, all without having to physically go to the dealership. Only problem is, I still haven't been able to talk to the service dept. to find out exactly what happened, why it happened and if there may be any collateral damage. I will find out soon enough!
