2005 GMC 2500HD overheating
This heat wave in the West is causing havoc. The truck is overheating without the 5th wheel on...and I need assistance. Engine temp is just above 210, and the tranny temp is right about 200. I'm sure ...

She has the 6.0 gas, not the Duramax. Other than the warm transmission temps, the engine temp seems fine for the weather you are in. I wouldn't waste money at a mechanic's shop and just go to the local car wash and give the front end a good cleaning.
X2 on this. First things first. Clean all the radiators/coolers in the front end at a car wash. With that old a vehicle and no idea what maintence/care and your symptoms I suspect your coolers/radiators are extremely dirty/clogged not allowing proper air flow.
If washing/rinsing doesn't work then have a mechanic flush and refill radiator fluid and change T-Stat.
