Towing 6000lbs over the weekend in 85 degrees I was 175-190 depending on where I was. Highway was 175-180, side roads 190 or so due to slower speeds etc.

Around town, I'm 140 or os.

I run an Edge Engine Monitor and have a 6.0 trans cooler. I monitor IAT, Trans T, Oil T and some other parameters. What I have noticed is that you can take the ambient air temp., IAT (unless it is in the 100's) multiply it by two and that is a good ballpark trans. temp. The oil temp. is then approx. 50 deg. higher than the trans. temp. All of these are based upon the engine being at operating temps and not towing anything.
Of course, if the ambient temp. is extremely hot outside this method may then be off possibly on the high side.
