How many miles did your stock transmission last?

My original blew around 180K. Now at 203K she still purring like new with the rebuilt trans. Gotta love Chevy.

Gotta love Chevy because a transmission lasted to 180k? Thats should be expected out of any modern car... What about my cheap plastic interior that's falling apart? I love my Tahoe but could care less who it was made by... It's a truck, it runs somewhat like it should just as any other car make does...

I just had a feeling mine probably wouldn't last much farther than 200k. Did all y'all have symptoms before it went out or does it just blow out all at once?

I've got 254K on my 4L80E. All I've done is fluid and filter changes.

Thanks! I have never seen another one in person myself. I've seen 'em on other boards, especially the diesel forums I frequent. I've seen them on ebay, but not in person.

I was just driving by a car lot one Sunday afternoon almost 7 years ago when I spotted the telltale air intake holes in the front bumper. I screeched to a halt, checked it out, and came back the next day and bought it!!

First one blew at 165k. Current Jasper trans has 40k on it. There is a ddifference in rebuilt and remanufactured.$$$

Mine went about 228K. It was still going great except when towing. I tow a 3500 lb bay boat all over South Louisiana so I needed something that wouldn't crap out on me when pulling the boat. I bought the Level 3 or maybe Level 2 (cant remember now) from PATC. Only 2K miles so far but its doing great.

Mine was at 170k of heavy towing when I rebuilt it. The trans was still operating properly but wasn't cutting it.

169Kish, it has almost 275K now. Std rebuild in my garage, I drive it hard, 2 fluid changes, deep pan, new mount, upgraded cooler ... strong.
