I ask because the 6sp transmissions in those usually fail before that mileage.
Some simple steps can help extend the life of those..... Regular fluid & filter changes/ HP Tune for the transmission/ On some models they have a thermal block to loop the transmission cooler lines that does not open till 190ish degrees...
They sell some easy to install bypass kits that keeps the operating temps lower and extends life.
Hmm, my 6L90 is at 150k...

The 6l90 in my 07 Denali had 220,000 miles on it, no issues, towing my camper, pulling a loaded dump trailer, even pulled some stuff found on road dead places too.

The 6l80 in the half tons are the weaker sibling.

From what I can the converter clutch fails then takes out everything . The material gets in the pump which is actually part of the bell housing . A couple places have found a way to machine the bell to fix them but not many. I’m kinda looking for an older truck and if it has a 6 speed I would pull it and have gone thru or at least put a better converter in.
 
Not sure I posted this one before, but I'm calling it "done" for the time being. Just got some new glass on it. I just need to time the muzzle device and rocksett it.

Picked this up over the weekend - it pays to be the first guy to call on a Craigslist ad! It is the audio equivalent of a "Barn Find". MX-110 and MC-240 tube amp. I bought them from a contractor who remodeled a church 20 years ago, and this was the priests stereo system. It was built into a console like the old style stereos you used to buy from Montgomery Wards and such. He still has the original John Lansing Signature speakers too, but he was still using them (I may make an attempt at acquiring them at some point in the future).

Both going to need some serious work, but it will be a fun project, and the amp will last me the rest of my life. Haven't decided on the MX yet, but going to clean it up and get the power supply upgraded at a minimum.

AWESOME - I have that exact Preamp Tuner (MX110-Z). Yours like mine has the Panloc making it a Z that is designed for a wood case. I run a Harman Kardon Citation V Amp. Enjoy the vintage Hi-Fi journey. It is addicting. You have some keepers there. What speakers are you going to run with this?
 
Now to Form 1 it so I can shoot in in USPSA this year.

(Well it won't let me upload a photo, nor can I link to it in my Google Photos.)

Got a recommendation from a friend to go with sealight led lights. They work great, very bright and much better than the halogens that were in it. Kind of a pain to align the light in the housing properly but worth it. Can't beat the price, got the high, low and fogs for $75.
