My mechanic may of mentioned to me that the 2003 and older transmission was older and prone to failure. Is that true?
and what about the replacement transmission in the 2004? Will that one last?

Five speed up to 2003, six speed from 2004 onwards.
GM on the 3.0, ZF on the V8 models (and some diesels)
No difference in likelihood of failure IMO, but older models naturally have higher mileage so more have failed.
