Best way to make 3rd and OD clutches last on a stock truck

2 years ago I had my tranny rebuilt by a reputable builder (he builds tranny's that live in 7 second cars, he built my 200-4R in my mid 10 sec. Buick and I have had no issues period) totally stock no upgrades since my truck is pretty much dead stock (99 5.3L ECSB Z71), and the other day it burned the 3rd and 4th clutches. He fixed it for basically nothing, but now I would like to look into something to hopefully make it last longer this time. It was 2 years, but not a lot of miles. Granted most of the miles were loaded or towing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If so, he knows how to build a good 4L60E, and He frictions would have been used.

He's going to fix me up this week on the current problems, I just wish had the money to build a nicer tranny.

Wow, you are definitely way over my head now.
As for the cable being out of adjustment I don't even see an adjustment, and every other setting seems right. Also It actually clicks when it rolls like it's trying to engage park, but with no success. I can even push it by hand as it goes click click click.

Park works now, I guess the pawl was just stuck...I put in park a few more times on the hill and the clicking got louder till it caught, now it works every try.
Lonnie says he knows exactly what's wrong with the OD, we're gonna pop the tranny out at his shop fix it up and be done for this time around.
