I drive 17 miles to work and it may be high 170s when I get there. It seemed like My 2006 F350 6.0 trans would be at op temp by the end my 300' driveway.

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like mine takes forever. Wondered if this so called thermostat was malfunctioning.

Transmissions take longer than engines to warm up, even transmissions with thermostats. Nothing is burning inside a transmissions, unlike an engine. All that burning creates a lot of heat.
