Chrysler trannies are much maligned - but they aren't that bad, as long as care is exercised to use ATF+4, the problems the 42TE/A604 had were quick lubes and indie shops as well as the driver dumping in Dexron fluid.
From what I understand, the 4AT's still had a problem with a pin in the diff. That can catastrophically take one out.
That's what failed in my coworkers old caravan. The tranny guy said it only fails if you spin the tires with the wheels turned.
