When did your LT1/LS1 die?

When did your LT1/LS1 die? When I say die, I mean something requiring internal engine repair (lifter/piston/spun bearing, ect.)
Internal transmission problems (not counting clutch swaps or hydraulics)
Rear end problems (something necessitating a new diff or ring/pinion (not just a wheel bearing).
List what went wrong as well.
This thread is me trying to prove once and for all to the import guys that GM is not un-reliable any moreso than any other car.

rear end was getting there around 37,000, though i'm sure it would have lasted a while longer.
needless to say my new moser 9 inch should last for just a little while longer...

Just keep it maintainced and you should be fine, i just seafoam my car, replaced plugs and wires, changed fuel filter, flushed rear end, tranny, and radiator, so im good for a while.

None of my LS1s have died yet, no matter how hard I've beat them.

My 94 Impala SS (LT1) has 274,000 miles on it. Original engine & tranny, never rebuilt,overhauled, or anything! (knock on wood) I drive it just about every day and don't exactly baby it around.
The only thing i've had to replace (knock on wood, again) are the torque converter & bushing because it started blowing tranny fluid everywhere. The only other thing in the driveline that has gone bad is the posi unit.
Aside from all of the good news about the drivetrain, there have been many other things that have gone bad on the car. One thing after another. I think before the engine dies the frame and body will be rotted bad enough where it won't get an inspection sticker.
