trans temp running high
So about a month ago my transmission started having shifting issues and started running in the 170 degree range. It's always run about 140, it's running through the radiator and a big external cooler. I pulled the trans and rebuild it and it's still running 170. Outside temp has been 90 lately. Last year pulling a trailer in this heat it never got this hot. I'm at a loss. Hoping mastertech will pipe in his knowledge. I'm working at a Transmission shop right now and my boss says it's normal. It's not normal for my truck from what I can remember though.
98 Durango. 318 44re transmission with aftermarket aluminum pan. Extra 2 quarts. 20000 btu cooler
