A C6 build should last a couple of years behind a heavy vehicle.
By Dave Shoe - 06/09/2001 1:52:33 AM; IP 216.243.158.102
I got three solid, punishing years outta my C6 overhaul behing the 427. I updated the forward clutch to the 5-disk setup and used the B&M rebuild kit. In the first week I'd break the tires loose as I hit third gear in the 3.50:1 lockered LTD, but it softened to a solid chirp after that. It took three years before 3rd and 2nd started showing their age, and a couple more years before they started to slip significantly (it ran so well I couldn't just park it for slipping!).

You've got another problem of some sort. I dunno whether it's a valve body problem or a structural probmel, but you should definitely get more miles outta your C6 before problems surface.

JMO,
Shoe.
