Ok, so I'm at a point I'm looking at trying to figure out the solution to my transmission woe's, it's a 96 K1500 with the 5.7L engine, NV243, and 14 bolt rear end with the G80. The thing just keep eating transmissions, I got it back in my possession last year, and it's been just sitting there in my driveway, leaking fluid out the NV243 (driveway is on a slope). Most of the time, it would just tear up the 3-4 clutch pack usually within a few hundred miles of a rebuild. We've done a new ECU even, replaced the lines, checked the trans cooler for clogs, nothing. This last failure, was more catastrophic, seems the sun shell cracked, and no reverse, and only 1st gear forward, slowly, with the accompanying clunks from the transmission.
From 2010 to 2016, it had eaten like, at least 8-10 4L60E's, some rebuilds (from various shops), some salvage yard. I think towards the end, before it was parked for 4 years, the transmissions were lasting longer, but the truck developed a random stalling issue while driving, when up to temp. No codes thrown, so I can only imagine the transmission was a factor in that. And the current trans catastrophic failure is what led to it being parked.
So, to get to the point, what components/parts outside the transmission, could cause it to get eaten up like that? I want to try to figure this out, before I spent a few grand getting a new trans for it, and risk it getting eaten up the same way. Since money is kind of an issue for us, I'd like to try to solve as many possibilities as possible before getting the new trans, since to get the warranty on the trans, they require being the ones to put it in (and that's fair), not to mention, I don't have the people around to do a transmission on my own anyways, let alone the setup for which to do it.
If anyone has any ideas, that would be great, and yes, I already plan on doing a rebuild on the NV243 before getting the transmission done, since that leak isn't helpful.
