not all H body related but should still apply:
1993 Chevrolet Lumina z34, LQ1, 4T60-E
Finally died at 178,000 after first gear burned itself to bits within 60 miles
parted out, put in a MT and haven't looked back
1997 Bonneville SSE, L36, 4T60-E
dead at 117,000
Failed from being run with little to no fluid, hopefully to replace with good used trans,
1998 Buick Regal GS, L67, 4T65-E-HD (not mine)
Still going strong at 222,000 with a harsh shift kit and drove hard daily

’00 SSEI daily grocery gitter lost 4th gear at 132k miles
It was the dreaded non-hardened 4th clutch shaft – the splines stripped off.
I know you didn’t ask but FWIW, the 92SE had stripped planets at 123k with pretty much the same driving habits and same roads.
