Front Pump Seal e40d

Front Pump Seal e40d
As posted earlier I've had a problem with the front seal leaking at high temperature (F53 motorhome, 460, e40d). Had the tranny pulled and the pump resealed -- the tech words were "the rest of the tranny is CHERRY". I'm a happy camper. Looking for opinions -- at what temp would the new seal be likely to leak: 250, 275, 300, 300 plus.
I know this is ONLY a guess but I'm installing a temp gauge and thinking about an electric fan over the tranny add on cooler, but not sure I need it.
OPINIONS please,
Thanks, jdr37

Let me try to clarify my question. What I am trying to determine is whether or not I need to install an electric cooling fan to assist the cooling of tranny fluid. The unit has one factory installed add-on and one add-on by the motor home manufactuor. Since the front seals were known to be weak in this tranny (1995 e40d) and I did not have a tranny temp gauge I do not know at what temp the seal would leak. I am installing a temp gauge with the sender located at the outlet port of the tranny going to the coolers. If this tranny doesn't ever get past 250 to 275 degrees (worst case scenario) should I worry about the new seal holding up?
If the tranny runs over 180 to 190 on the highway or exceeds 235 in slow stop and go traffic I will install a fan -- what are the experiences with this older model e40d with updated seals??
