Mine runs 190-192°F all day long without trailer in tow. With a trailer in tow like my TT, I will run around 194-198°F. Highest I have seen the temp was 210°F and that was going up 5 mile hill on I80 in PA on a warmish summer day. Nothing compared to my 99 F150 which would be around 235 with the same trailer and same stretch of road.
IOW, 190°F is normal for the Super Duty.

Question- Are you guys getting actual Trans temps from a ScanGuage, or an installed aftermarket guage, or what? I don't have the productivity screen in my truck either. I'd like to know what my best option is. Thanks

As a side note, it appears that since these trannys have synthetic fluid Ford went with a higher operating normal temperature.

When I programed the Scangauge for the Tranny temp it was... maybe.... 2nd to last in the list of x-gauge codes

That would be my next code to try when I get a moment to mess with it. I know with my luck it would the 4th code to try. Eventhough, I rarely use the SC2 anymore due to the fact the truck runs so well with a load in tow, it is still nice to see a number not a needle sitting in the 12 o clock position. I was thinking about making it more permanent arrangement for the SC2 in the truck.

I had it in my previous truck and works great in the SD also.
I used the extension cable that came with the scangauge and tucked it under the headliner, then removed the two screws on the driver side grab handle to remove the driver side windshield post cover. With the cover off I dropped the wire down the dash.
Underneath the dash I used the other wire with the OBDII plug end and plugged it in tying it up with some twist ties and plugging it into the extension cable. That way, I can un-velcro the scangauge from the blend mount and grab the cable end with the plug underneath the dash, should I need to use it on another vehicle to check codes.
The blendmount looks good and works great !!!

I am pretty much going the same direction as your set up. I was playing with it up above the rear view mirror tucking the cord up along the headliner and A piller. I figured a piece of 1 inch wide on top of the of the RVM. The mount might be something to look at. As for the code, I was good with the 3rd one as well.
