Towed over the weekend, same place I saw 236 a few weeks ago and had to pull off to cool down. This time around I was sporting my new 6 row cooler, and hauling about 500 pounds Less weight. Temperature was 94, elevation was around 5k ft and the hottest I saw was 217. That was in 3rd gear. My experience is that when the temp gets that hot, it is difficult to control it, it will climb quickly from that point unless you can pull over and let it cool. Or maybe my fluid is burned and not capable of dealing with heat anymore.

I lock out 5 and 6 with select shift. Even with my 5 star tune you really have to mash the pedal to get the truck to downshift so I use the manual control button to downshift when needed. If you let the truck decided when to downshift, its always too late best to keep rpms in the 3k plus range in any sort of hills. I'm pretty sure the converter does not lock in 2nd or 3rd gear which could explain my heat issues since any steep hill requires 3 or sometimes 2nd gear to maintain 45mph.
