Bob,
Love that color.
Anyway, these trans run kinda hot normally, but it seems to be fine. Best we have figured is about 250° as being max temp. I can tell you what I've seen and what others have reported.
I have seen 201° on the gauge just going to the mall in traffic. I have seen around 220° while towing. Others have seen close to 220° as well. Not sure what the max temp is but, like I said, it's been established to be about 250°. I also don't know where the temp sensor is. I assume it's on the hot side of the trans.
I want mine to run cooler while I'm towing, but realistically it just stays in the 210-220° range most of the time and I guess that's ok
