My dad had his 04 Yukon for 150k and never needed a tranny rebuild :shrug: He bought it brand new in 03, traded it in 2010 and no drivetrain issues.

Yes, a lot of highway driving. I'd say over those 150k about 75% was highway and the other was city.

@000 Tahoe LT trans went at around 260,000 KM. never off roaded spun tires or raced just decided to break pulling away from a stop sign.Trans shop said it was inevitable due to the poor heat treating on the splines .Got all new up graded parts and works great now.
