Default how long did your transmission last?

i noticed there are alot of complaints from people on the 2nd gen forum about the transmissions in our trucks. so i thought i would make a thread for people to post how long there transmission lasted and what trans you had to replace or rebuild.

96 1500 46RE

I've got 248K on my truck, trans. still works but had to install a slip in front band recently. Have no idea if it's been worked on before or not. About due for a rebuild though.
Here's something to look at, borrowed from the FAQ section, thanks to HammerZ71.

No idea. Bought the truck with just over 140k and the transmission had already been rebuilt.

135,000 miles and no problems, but I got one of those transmissions with a stick coming out the top of it and that extra pedal next to the brake...
