No one can answer that as we do not drive your truck, you do.

As little as 10 miles. Some have been known to explode before they get out of driveway. You are the one that controls the ultimate life of a correctlly built trans.
I know a guy that destroyed a anvil with a feather.

I'm assuming you mean like an ATS stage 3, I'm pretty sure it would take a lot more than a normal stock truck could put out. Now when you say stock truck you mean off the lot stock? Why would you have a stage 3 in a stock truck? Just wondering myself what happened there

Those of us in the transmission industry get this question a lot. The answer won't be simple lol.

If you want it to last as long as possible, stay on top of the maintenance schedule - change the fluid and filters and periodically check fluid level. That's the first important step. I don't care who built the trans, how many billet parts are in it, or what the warranty is. Neglect maintenance and you'll destroy the transmission. Doesn't matter if the truck is at 280hp or 1280.

Assuming the maintenance schedule is followed, you'll want a transmission temp gauge on the truck. Pay attention to it. 68RFE's, depending on location, driving conditions and time of year, will run 140-210 degrees. The cooler you can keep the fluid (within reason), the longer your transmission will last.

If you want to destroy the transmission, don't follow the maintenance schedule, make the truck have axle wrap/wheel hop and potentially break the case, run it low on transmission fluid, or make more power than what that stage can hold.
