Please give type of vehicle and any other useful info.

For example in my 1996 GMC Yukon K1500 it lasted 115K behind the 5.7L before going bang.

The 4L60E in my trailblazer lasted 205k miles of abuse. My aunt (the original owner) put 175k on it without a tranny fluid change. I put 30k miles on it driving it like a 16 yr old would

200k plus on mine, but it was yanked out and replaced with a stage 3/500 horse rated transbuilderguy unit with an S10 converter when I built up the 350.

I'd like to get mine built up when it comes to rebuild time, something that'll better handle the future engine rebuild, the long term plan is to turn the original 350 into a 383. Although I haven't researched much yet I've got a long time til I'm even close to that point
