Not sure what caused the extreme heat up yesterday, but I did not make it too 200 degrees today over 150 miles from with a 1300 foot climb in elevation. The trans temp made it to 199 degrees for a short time while climbing the steepest hill on the trip with outside temp at 103. It ran about 188 the whole way except for when I was pulling steeper inclines.
I thinks it's okay to go. I think what happened yesterday was that I started off that 7 mile trip with some short starts and stops to adjust my new trailer brake controller. Starting and stopping seems to be what heats it up fast.
