Default Transmission getting hot

My trucks tras temp is getting pretty hot. normal cruising on the highway its right at 220 230 and going up a steep grade get up to 245 or so then's drops back down to 220 230, do you thing i should get a trans cooler or is this normal. Im able to see the trans temp from my EDGE insight 2, also just did a check valve delete and made no difference.
