Transmission blown .... again :(

[OrangeCrush]

The transmission was the final straw for me as to why I did the duramax diesel install. I had the tranny rebuilt and did it right might I add. It's this simple, our H2's are not meant to tow with unless they are bone stock.

I only had 38's but still had a supercharger and 4.56 gears, the truck sucked on the highway for performance, gas mileage and towing ability.

So now, 8 months later, I should be getting my conversion back and with 600+ HP and 900+ ft.lbs of torque, if I have so much as a stutter when pulling a bullshiet enclosed trailer, I'll sell the damn thing.

Your biggest help will be gears, it helps keep the engine's rpms in a better range and thus not trashing trannies.

First tranny blew after about 1800 miles, had it rebuilt with stock components ... lasted 9 months/11000 miles \
Rebuilt again, this time using corvette servos and springs, aftermarket clutches with 9 steels and 9 fibers per pack as opposed to the stock 4 per, installed stage 2 shift kit to firm up the shifts.
This buildlasted until last week, about a year and a half and maybe 15000 miles.
To date I have spent over $5000 on transmission repairs and unfortunately can't afford to be doing this every year.

Obviously the 4L60E is way too wussy for our trucks, even when stock, so is there a way to mount up a stronger transmission to the 6.0L ? If so, what tranny would that be ?
