What do your trans temps run?
Mine is running 190-196 on the highway at 70 with the cruise set and OAT's in the low 50's. Is that in line with others? It's freaking me out now because it revved up between the 1-2 shift tonight.
Also asking because the 06 Duramax I had ran 165-170 unless it was in the 90's and I was driving in heavy stop-and-go traffic.

I know this question was asked awhile ago but I have some new data.
I just returned from a 700 mile trip pulling my 30ft 5th wheel. (approx 10,000 lbs) and I had the following transmission temps.
Transmission takes at least 5 miles to get up to 165-175 degrees.
Transmission temperature ranged between 184 – 199 degrees during my trip.
The higher temps were climbing large hills at highway speeds of 55-65 mph.
Some interesting facts were that the transmission temp did not rise when climbing and transmission kicked down to 5th or even 4th gear. That just shows that the cooling system is good. Oh outside temps were between 80 and 85 degrees during climbing. I live in Arizona.
So in conclusion the 189-199 degree transmission temps are normal range.
