Hi Tom,
Ive been running dexron from Oreilly for a long time, and my powerglide has never shown any type of wear during tear down.
Scott Wickersham/Council Bluffs and Dave Ross/Fremont have both had it apart over the past 2 years (broke planetary, replaced and then upgraded the planetary when part arrived). Otherwise, it gets freshened every 4th or 5th season. I put about 250-300 passes per season on it. No band adjustments ever needed, either.

6700 rpm Coan converter, 3000 lbs in my S10. Glide was also in my 68 with an ATI converter for a long time, also.

Dave had me run BTE syn, and when I had the planetary upgraded, I went back to running Dexron....
