Sounds good....Got to cover all bases when somthin like this happens.I like to understand what really happens when I read threads bout 4l60's given up the ghost.Sometimes its not cut and dry parts failure as one could easily assume.

This Performabuilt tranny is the second trans this truck has seen and it never skipped a beat before. Don't know what broke yet it could be a part that was just manufactured wrong, don't know yet.
Her she is being pulled onto the flat bed
Bad week for me......I just sprained my ankle playing soccer and my ankle looks like a golf ball, ain't that a bitch.

Me? No, the stocker had 85k miles and I fucked it up with a low fluid level. Don't ask please!

You said you used a stock converter. did you you have it cut and cleaned after the first trans failure???? Other thing would be pump to converter clearance if pump broke. Vince had a thread on it. Explains the proper way to check converter clearance when installing it in the vehical. Good to know!!! Lots of people dont. I just recently found out my self. I guess Ive been one of the lucky ones. I dont build transmissions but I have installed a lot and never relised how critical it was.

it becomes pretty much 90% of most problems .. that would suck using a converter that was in a blown up tranny without cleaning it
but i am sure it happens time to time

FWIW Or Trans rebuilder was buying " rebuilt converters from this one supply company but kept haveing problems with almost every one. I personally believe they were only flushing them on a machine... Not actually cutting them open and inspecting them. I asked him to switch to another local company and the problems stopped... The price difference was an additional $20 So far it has been worth every cent!
