Mine is only about 3200 on stock trans. So far so good. I do have a trans cooler tho. My buddy has a 4000 and hes gone through a few trannys. This could all be luck, or a lack thereof. Id say get a trans cooler for sure.

It was the stock 2000 intake (not ls6). Id recommend skipping the rebuid and just buying a built tranny if you have problems. Probably be a lot more bang for your buck.
