How long did youre tahoe go before needing tranny rebuild?

[NJ04HOE]

I don't remember exactly but I was around 80-85k when I had mine rebuilt. I'm the second owner and I got it Jan 06

Im wondering if that has anything to do with those big chrome wheels ..I have 65k on my 01 tahoe and the tranny fluid has never been changed.My question is should I Flush the tranny or should I just drain and refill fluid and change filter?Also it seems at open throttle my tranny wont shift from first to second,anyone have this issue?

I'd do a fluid and filter change, but no flush. I've heard bad things get stirred up with a flush.

We traded the wife's 2001 Z71 a couple years ago at 181K miles and had experienced zero transmission problems. Only had to change the consumable parts like batteries, alternators, a starter, plus an interior fan speed control. I ran across a deal two weeks ago on an '03 LT 4wd with only 57,300 miles and had to buy it. Glad to be back in a Tahoe.

mine went out at 125000 towing a big boat and enclosed trailer a good percentage of its life. tansmission shop said the common failure of these transmissions are the splines in the sun shield. i replaced mine with a crate trans from the dealer which developed a internal problem on its second day and was swapped out with a different crate tranny after a week due to total failure.....

Well i bought my 2002 Suburban LT 5.3 4x4 about a year ago with receipt of a rebuild.

Theres about 187000 Miles on it and I'm ordering a new transmission in the next 2-3 weeks.

90k and im on tranny 5 or 6 I cant remember anymore, now Im at about 183K, but whatever you do dont go with Jasper Transmissions. I blew 3 or 4 now I have an AER and it can take some abuse.
