Default didn't take long for the 4l60 to take a dump

About 2 weeks after i finished tuning the truck my trans gives out. I've still got all the gears right now and its driveable, but 1-2 shift is hard as hell, 2-3 takes forever, and it slips like crazy if i give it half throttle or so.

I've got a 6.0 sitting in my living room to put into the truck and was planning on doing a tranny anyway so its no big deal. I think im gonna go with the FLT level 4 or 5 and a 2500 stall.

Im not opposed at all to other manufacturers though so i'd like to hear what you guys are running that will be able to stand about 500rwhp and hopefully 5-600 rwtq.

The only thing i really dont want to do is an 80e swap, i just dont feel like messing with it.

I am running the FLT level 5 and am very happy with it. I dont think I'd want to push too much more than 500hp thru it. I asked Chuck and he felt anymore than 500 should swap up to an 80e.
