bumping a trans in neutrual after a full pass is worst thing you can do to the internals
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
412 Motorsports
it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Can you elaborate more? Is it because the pump is disengaged when in neutral, or ...?

danger_ranger83: I see now why it cost so much to get a harness made... FML
2boostedSilverado: I like Casey's rear end, I want to chat with him about it
the rpms the internals see without any load on, your better off letting the whole truck slow down in the gear you just made the pass in

anyway, are you lightning a candle to the 60e......
Be real, this is not "OEM stuff endure sissy driving and long miles !!!!".
We are about performance, 60e stock under our trucks with performance modes are a NO NO.
Or you beef it up, or upgrade it for 80e under mild to heavy performance conditions (th400 is also an option, and some rainbow guys prefered the Powerglide)
My oem 60e endure over 200K miles of heavy duty and some time to time race, on a ALL STOCK engine.
After a few mods, I kissed bye bye......
So, if you own a total Stock truck, change trans oil every 15K miles, and keep fluids in safe temp range, (and yours is not a CC 4wd houling 7K Lbs everyday) chances are 60e gonna live a happy long life.
Other wise, NOT

The 60 in my 99 ECSB held up for the 145k that I put her through. When I sold it, it was still strong. Only Problems I ever had were towards the end of 1500 mile road trips. It felt like it would start slipping a little bit under heavy throttle. I was never nice to it. It was a stock 4.8 though.
Okay. Well after making a pass, I usually slow down to around 60-70 mph, the put it in OD. Is that ok?
Big slow mud truck with a TUNE!!!!!!
My stock 60e has 165k on it. It gives trouble under full throttle from a stop. However, if I am rolling it never slips. Going to rebuild it when I pull the motor out this next month.

QUOTE "Why on earth would GM put such an anemic transmission in a heavy ½ ton truck, Avalanche, or Escalade?
These transmissions barely hold up to the punishment a stock LSX based engine generates. Now add a few modifications to it, trust me, it won’t last long.
It’s great the new generation GM trucks with LSX engine variants are probably the most reliable and powerful engines out, but it would be nice if these transmissions would last a little longer."
