I think their good trucks, i dont own one but do a lot of work on them. 4L60E trasmissions dont have any more problems than 700R4s, They dont like abuse like towing heavy, constant full throttle 3-4 downshifts & upshifts, LOW FLUID LEVEL is the number one killer of a 700R4,4L60,4L60E. Check the fluid level & smell the transmission fluid if it smells burnt & has black clutch material in the fluid you know the transmission is on its last leg. Make sure to put a full drive cycle on the truck (at least 20 miles) to make sure the engine runs good and the transmission shifts good, No check engine light, wheel bearing noise, rear axle noise, run the A/C & heat.
