Reading online, it was recommended to get a billet torque converter.

Here’s what a guy on the Tahoe forms recommended for the transmission rebuild. I did a copy and paste, because I have no idea what he’s talking about. Transmissions are not my forte.

Billet torque converter
Billet piston: The Sonnax 4-5-6 piston kit is a good upgrade but I'd have also installed their 1-2-3-4 billet piston as opposed to another GM factory piston

Replace the TEHCM??

flip the pill inside your thermal bypass valve

replace the piston set snap rings in the 3-5-R and 4-5-6 drums? The 3-5-R apply/balance piston snap ring is more prone to failure and if it goes, it usually takes the 1-2-3-4/3-5-R circuit partitioning O-ring with it resulting in 3rd gear starts.

The 2012 and up 3-5-R drums will accept a spiral-lock snap ring in that location

Delete the AFM-active fuel management. Stops the engine from going from an eight cylinder to a four-cylinder.
