Great thread.
I would service the transmission, after heating the fluid up like that a few times. Check that fan clutch too. It doesn't make sense since the engine stays cool, but installing and HD clutch in my old truck made a noticeable difference, even though the old one seemed good.
Fortunately the transmission pan has a drain bolt in it. So I have done a few drain and refills on it because of the high temps. I'll probably do at least one more after this last trip just to be sure the fluid is fairly fresh.
