How Many Miles on Original Tranny

[retorq]

169K on OE, 110K on the rebuild, 20K so far on this one ...

Pulled the original tranny out about a year ago. Had 226,000 miles. Still ran good except when pulling my boat. After it heated up it would shift real hard going from 1st to 2nd.

And what specifically in your repair fixed the hard 1-2 shift.

got 184k on my 99 denali

It never towed anything before I purchased it a couple months ago though

Friend had 260k on his k1500 before it went last year, towed with it all it's life and has been plowing for the past 5 years with it.

If you do your service on time and don't beat the piss out of it they tend to last a long time

I just ordered a whole new tranny from PATC. Been working like a champ! It only has 20K miles so far so it better be working great.

Oh, thinking myself that even after the rebuild that happened I may end up just replacing the valve body entirely. Some moron attempted a shift kit and screwed it up so I am stuck with a hard 1-2 just so the the other shifts are normal. And the rebuild already cost me $2500. Did not have time to shop around and order a gm or other unit.
