If I was installing a 4th transmission in my truck I would consider some sort of upgrade like this:

I would wonder if there was something else wrong. 4 trannies is plenty unless you have 400,000 miles on it.
Do you have a temperature guage and what does it read? Unless the temperature is sitting at say 250F all the time, there is something else eating your tranny.
What does the shop say when you take it in for rebuild?
Something is wrong and it may not be the temperature.
Good Luck,
Jim Henderson

the stock tranny lasted 103k, 2nd tranny lasted 133k, 3rd tranny last to 157k
I went to a bud who owns ATS diesel here in Colorado and bought His Triple Lock Converter and a ATS oversize tranny pan and got rid of the by pass cooler line, Clint Cannon said it it should take of my problems (I hope)
