My 2006 chevy colorado with a 4 speed transmission 4l60e. The factory computer will put the truck into a limp mode at transmission temps of 270*f. I installed a aftermarket B&M stacked plate cooler.
I tow in 3rd gear as Gm has told me to do. When towing up big hills with the a/c running my transmission temp will be about 194*f.

Sorry if I missed it but what are your transmission temp showing.
