do the 03's come with a 4l60e?
well, honestly, there is your problem. Trans is about it max holding capacity with our motors. You can supercharger it and it should hold, however, keeping an eye on your trans. temps and not abuse on it and it should live.
Im my camaro, i rebuild my stock 65e about three times before giving up and going to a 80e. Longer gears, however, stock on holds 700trq. while the 60e is around 300-400.
Than 2-4 band is a common issue. What happens is when, let say your in 2nd gear, shift to 3rd, that band lets go and the trans engages the 3-4 clutch pack. Shift to 4th and it reengages the 2-4 band. Do this with high temp, added stress or WOT application like a 4-2 shift under WOT or close to, and you'll over run the bands, heat the stock bands and clutch packs up real bad. Now, yor lifted, with your added weight and strain on your vehicle, it only adds to the equation.
ALso, these trans shouldn't be shifted manually except when necesary under off-roading applications. try to eliminate the 4-2 or 3-1 shift under wot, and never wot shift into 4th/od. Keep and eye on your temps and she should hold.
