trans temp?

If you look at almost any fluid temp chart for trans fluid, they will say anywhere from 150-200ish is great. The only thing that happens above 200 is the fluid life goes down some. Most of the charts put 100k as a bench mark and over 200 fluid temp brings it down 20-40k miles in life.
I'd never run the fluid that long anyway, maybe 50-75k miles and change it. So figure your truck is just fine and look at where you live, temps can rise faster and if it got over 230-240 then be somewhat worried it getting too hot.

On my turbo truck (6L80E) I saw an average of 180* with a converter and 40K and 220 after a few pulls and 3yrs rocking 650rwhp without a problem.
Now with a 3600 converter 40k cooler and around 10 track passes per week! it never sees over 180*
6L80Es run between 180* - 210* off the showroom floor @ over 90* weather and heavy traffic.

It's really really easy to add a cooler and its a great idea to add on any truck. I used a ford excursion 2001 trans cooler it's the same size as a trucool 40k. When towing or long hot drives sometimes my truck would shift really hard. I added the larger cooler and it went away 10k miles strong.

Trans temps on mine would stay 170+. While towing a heavy load 200 was not out of the question. This would have been ok but for added insurance I added a 40k cooler and now on 95 degree days cruising on the hiway 145 is the norm. It will still climb over 180 when I beat on it but it cools back down a lot quicker.
