Heres the best piece of advice anyone will give you.
Find out why your transmissions keep failing.
These tranmsissions are controlled by a computer, sensors, etc.
I did a search here on raybestos and somehow ended up reading a bunch of stuff on line pressure, replacing the force motor with a vacuum modulator, why transmissions burn up when the pressure is controlled by the vehicle control module and it's sensors ,etc.

^^^Thats great advice. I lost my last tranny cause my stock tranny cooler was plugged up allowing my tranny to reach dangerous tempertures and finally went clunk. I would also advice to get a tranny temperture gauge which im planning on installing soon on my vehicle.
The 4l60e can be built to take a great amount of punishment. When a shop builds them they can be installed without checking everything, And the thing that made the first one go takes the rest.
