I bought a used Dodge Cummins, with an aftermarket Banks turbo, etc., etc.- it started slipping in pretty short order, so took it to the local tranny guru. He smiled and said he knew what the problem was before he even got into it. Dodge comes with one of three torque converters, ranging from weak to strong. Factory hot rods had the strong converter, but the ones with the weak ones invariably got the new turbo, chip, exhaust upgrade, etc. and soon failed. The aftermarket stuff (bolt-on) was about 2 grand, but upgrading the torque converter was another 2 grand, and that would usually be a deal-breaker- so they ignored it, put on their stuff, and let the customer deal with upgrading the rest after it failed.
The sad part was, the good torque converter was only a couple hundred more than the weak one if it was being put in at the original build- but a bucks a buck, and they economized wherever they could at the factory. Most of the cost of the upgrade was labor for remove and replace.
