68 RFE Problems??

I just came from the dealer about a vibration I have been experiencing, like driving over light rumble strips. The tech comes back and says the torque converter has gone bad and possible some other things too. He will know when it gets torn down. I go back Tuesday for a rebuild, will be down 2-3 days. Has any one else had any experience with this?? I tow about 6500 lbs. daily and on occasion, my 39' 18000 lbs. fifth wheel. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks.
