Go get a Scan Gauge II from Autozone and watch the trans temp yourself instead of guessing. About $150.00 and can save you THOUSANDS on a new transmission. If you see the temp creeping up to 210 plus you should think about stopping and letting the rig cool.
If you overheat the tranny some stop the rig and let the truck idle and cool the tranny down.
Thanks and please get that poor tranny an extra cooler ASAP.
Thanks!

Looked at the scan gauge today. Problem is it requires tapping into the pan, something I'm not comfortable with. Is there something I can plug into my OBD port to gather the temp instead?
The scan gauge should not require tapping into the pan.
It should be an OBD port connection only. May require a x code but that is easy to do.
