Default Transmission out again suggestions

getting ready to send my truck to the transmission shop for its second rebuild. Is there anything I can ask or tell the trans. Shop to do to make my trans. Last for a long time? Only have 120,000 miles on my truck and ready for a second rebuild come on!!! I don't even tow anything but want to in the future I'm looking for a small camp trailer to tow. Last rebuild they did eliminate the check ball. It has a stock trans. Cooler.

Why a second rebuild? What's wrong with it? Hope you don't use the same shop again.

Get a mega-viper. Last trans you will ever need. Probably end up spending less than rebuilding every 60K miles too..... (on average for you.)

True, but, given the rate he is going thru transmissions.... in the long run, it may turn out to be CHEAPER.
