Granted it was well over 100F today in San Antonio, but I wasn't rowing anything or driving aggressively.

So after a bunch of research and talking to a friend. I think I'm gonna bypass the OEM tranny heat exchanger and run an aftermarket cooler up front.

I will catch up on the rest of the thread tomorrow.

OE system is more than adequate except perhaps in heavy towing in the mountains. I would troubleshoot the problem and determine the cause. Overheating may be a symptom rather than the cause.
