Mine typically runs 80-90 over ambient when towing. It will get hotter in stop and go and long uphill climbs. Still have the stock cooler and an early build without the rad cooler. Highest I saw last summer was briefly 220 in a construction zone in the mountains that featured both stop and go and a pretty steep climb along with 90 degree OAT.

sounds normal. The trans doesn't have a thermostat so it stays pretty low.
