I only have about 20,000 miles on this '99 diesel and tranny and I put them in the van at 14,000 miles and started adding the "goodies" at about 16,000. No problems so far, but I also plan to add a tranny temperature guage this time around to keep an eye on it. I have an oversize cooler and my understanding is the newer overdirve automatic tranny (99 and up) are better than the older ones. I guess time will tell. I know a great transmission man so when the time comes he'll build it so it last forever.

One of our diesel guys said you can get a tranny for $2800 that will hold up to 750 diesel HP. There are torque converters for them to help it out too, these guys know them pretty well too.
I've seen the modded diesels in trucks beating gas v8 engines racing in video clips, it's amazing. I had a burnout video of a crew cab Super Duty doing donuts in a parking lot.
