you have gauges ? whats the tranny temp reading ?
theres a thermostat in the cooler or bypass filter...it wont open/
flow coolant til the system is warm.

my 04 barely reaches 160* (empty/no-tow) goin' down the road.

hot trans

no ,I just have the factory guage.Need to get real guages soon. Did you say there is a thermostat in the aux filter housing? it takes about 20 miles for the guage to read hot,then i smell trans fluid-no leaks. lines are cool in front of filter but filter housing is hot.

You need a sat of gages on this truck. Are you pulling anything when it gets this hot. That factory gage is just a idiot light that looks like a gage. Your TC may be coming apart and stopping up the cooling lines. Sounds like the dealer needs to replace the Transmission, T/C and clean out the cooling lines.
I am sure that others know more about this than I do, and maybe will join in. Just my 2cents.
