It would help if we knew what kind if vehicle we are dealing with but in general 225 for a short while is no cause for concern and you did the right thing by letting it idle and cool down, I believe the fluid is fine untill you can run it at 250 for a half hour at at time without any damage being done to the fluid. You might want to look into getting a bigger cooler though. The 6.0 cooler is the ultimate for the superdutys..
