OK...I see and hear a lot about these transmissions. I'm guessing that most feel these trannys are weak. What specifically is it about them that is the weak link? Obviously I have the same tranny...as do most with 1/2 tons. What should I look out for? I have experienced a few symtoms with my transmission. First...I noticed that the tranny was slipping...my truck was still under warranty so I took it in and it turned out that it was extremely low on tranny fluid. No leaks anywhere...so where did the fluid go? The dealer thought that it may have leaked into the transfer case oil...so they checked and everything was OK...any ideas? That's been 6 months ago...and a few times this week I've noticed some slipping again...I'll check the fluid level tomorrow, but is this one of the signs that the tranny is giving up? If there are so many issues with the 4l60e trannys...why do they keep making them? Can these trannys be built up to beefier standards? I'm wondering if the 33's and 35's have taken their toll on the tranny??

What do you guys think?
