Default Transmition slip?

I have 25k miles on my silverao and the drivetrain has already started to go out. I blew my rear about 2 months ago, and now I can feel somthin slipping again. My money is on it being my transmition, because it feels more like a trans slip and I would hope my 2 month old rear wouldnt go out again. Its lifted on 35's and I do a lot of towing with it. I also have a superchip that jacks up my shift pressure and a lot of other bolt on performance mods. I can hand move the drive shaft when the truck is off and in park, and when I go from reverse to drive you can se the driveshaft move about 1/8 and inch or so. I know somthins up, what do you guys think?

I think that 4L60E wasn't made to handle 38" tall tires especially with towing. Good job on voiding the warranty too BTW. I bet you didn't swap gears when you went to bigger tires either. Should have bought a 2500 or 3500.

I have 35's, and my warrenty isint voided they covered my rear end. I wish I could have bought a 2500 or 3500 but I cant afford it. I talked about re-gearing for a while but didnt think I needed it.
