you can blow a stock transmission, with a stock engine, all depends on how you drive it. With that said, i would first upgrade the transmission, then you have a good foundation. depending on your trans millage, i would do a full rebuild, but if trans is in good shape, new tourque converter, and valve body. just adjust you bands every 20,000 miles or more if pulling a trailer and always change your fluid and filter it should take a good beating. If you want to go all out, put a good set of clutches in, billet input/output and intermediate shafts in, billet planitatys ECT ect. dont forget a good tranny cooler and deep pan. i would say a transmissions biggest enemy would be heat, dirty fluid, and aggressive driving. good luck hope that was helpful
