Your truck will probably go into "limp" mode once the fluid gets too hot. I think it happens up around 275 degrees or so. My 2002 Suburban has this feature so I assume your newer truck has it too. No one wants to run steady above 250 I'm sure. But I think some people worry too much about this temperature. I towed about 6000 pounds up Wolf Creek Pass last summer. I got to around 235 degrees. I did pull over for peace of mind. Normal range (flat ground) was 180-190 when towing.
