Took my boys to Pepacton Reservoir (Catskills NY) today and while driving some prolonged grades (Rt. 17 West from Middletown NY to Rosco) my trans temp was getting to the 170's and then cooled off after the long inclines back to 156F. Normal right there as we make this trip often. Nothing in tow.
On the way home there was a 20 min 10mile n hour stop and go due to an accident ahead of us. Temy off the pavement was 98F so it was hot. My trans temp was in the upper 170's and didnt get much cooler as I drove home (granted it was hot and I was rolling 82-85.
I mostly have winter temps to base off so not sure if this is normal of if I should be a little concerned. Shifts smooth as usual and never had an issue. Pan drain every 2 years and fluid is pretty clean and bright red. Trans fluid level is good. No smell of burning.
What you think??
If it matters, engine oil temps max was 212F and mostly 204F.
Edit to add: F150 in my sig.
