128K and on number 4 drive kinda hard nothing it shouldnt take. Do mild Offraoding and pull a tractor and trailer about twice a week during the Summer months. Also I dont think the 35's help much either.

At 33K tranny started slipping and it also wouldn't downshift to first. Had to replace a cracked lower reverse piston, lower reverse cluches, internal gear. 2-4 band was burnt. Fixed under warranty

Stock 4L60-E: killed at 32K by exploding G80 in the 10-bolt. (sprag)
Second 4L60-E fully built with 65-E parts: 3-4 clutches expired at 52K.

Both times the trans was taken apart all the hard parts were found to be as worn sloppy as might be expected from 200,000 miles of use. The supercharger has been on since 12K.

I now have 63K, the last 11K of which are on the 4L80-E that I built in my own garage. It's as consistent as it was day one.

I'm on number 5 or 6.

I blew one up towing a boat
I blew one street racing.
I blew up one thanks to a bad rebuild.
I blew up anotehr because off too much heat.
I blew one up because I messed up a tc install.
The current one runs like a champ but wont shift 2-3 under wot.
