Guys Iam still using the Tranny out of the old 4.8 with 140k miles on the tranny and it still runs strong with my new 6.0 2600 stall set up...I have a very spirted driving habit....i.e. raced a TBSS 3 times yesterday ,(and beat it all 3 times60,40,20 punch), but was wondering should I go ahead and rebuild this thing ? how much more life have you guys gotten out of yours ...what would be the benefits of doing this early..Iam thinking i could use my new stall without being contimanted from a blown tranny, but in reality i guess it already is contiminated when I put it in...anyway any advantages of doing early other then not being broke down on the road...?any idea how much more life is left on this thing?

 

well if you have the money to get a built tranny now,go ahead and do it

 

I have the money but I just wonder how much longer these 4l60;s will go and what the advantages would be till it blows a gear ...

 

iam just trying to talk myself out of not rebuilding it early ...lol i ve just got the itch to go ahead and rip it out iam tired of looking at all my parts on the bench...lol.....was just curious at to how many of you have gotten 150k plus miles out of a spirited driven basiclly stock tranny with some HP behind it ...mine gets abused and still runs strong ...my neighbor has over 200k on his but hes not one of us

 

race everything that pulls next to you, and you'll have to use those parts layin around sooner then later. then you wont have to wonder what if?...

 

I say pull it out before it breaks get yourself a performabuilt tranny and sell your old one on craigslist or just keep it as a back up this is what I would of done before my stock 4l60e took a crap on me.

 

its going to blow sooner or later! might as well get it done when you have time and money and not make it a surprise.

 

x2 I plan to buy a built one before my current one breaks

 

All very true thanks guys ...just neede to hear it lol...I dont know why I think this one will last another year with the way I drive...I need to stop being lazy and just do it...
