ugh another transmission question

I've been out of the cummins world for a little while and looking to satisfy the itch again. What are your experiences before having to rebuild/replace transmissions. I am looking at a few 2012-2013 models with miles in the 200k range, should I expect imminent failure in that range?

It all comes down to use and maintenance schedule. There are several examples of guys going 200-300k plus on stock transmissions with no issue (and most of these guys tow heavy often) but the key is they maintained them and didn’t beat on them.

I guess abbreviations don’t make sense

16’ means 2016

16 would have been fine but adding the abbreviation for feet is misleading. Or maybe it has a really long box.
