BTW, driving in second gear on the highway is fun, everyone thinks you want to race them cause you stay tached up around 4000+rpm. Trucks REAL responsive up there.

I haven't blown up #3 yet. 
I put a Transgo in this one the week after I got it (along with the vette servo and B&M supercooler I had before) and it seems to be holding up ok. However, I know it wont last forever and I have had all the warranty replacements the dealer will allow so I will be having it 'built' when it does go out this time.

I'd guess not much either. Both of my 60's started slipping going into third, then they wouldn't go in 3rd at all at WOT. Then they'd start slipping bad in 4th and 4th would go completely away. Then third gear would go quickly after that(within hours) 
If you baby it you can get lots more miles outta it but, if you continue like normal(like I did ) it'll be gone within the month I'd guess. Damn 4L60E's

Ya its real fun to race when the Trans is fried like that too. You stomp on it and it ether shifts down and bounces off the limiter, or stays in second and just slips.

Burned up my 2-4 band and blew the 3 and 4 clutch pack on my L60. I think thats right... And that was when i was stock.
When i did H/C on my 6.0 swap, i got the trans built, and for the first ~3000 miles, I have not had a problem yet. ::knocks on wood::
