What kind of temps should it run usually not loaded? I have a edge on it, and run it on level 1 all the time on the stock tranny, the truck has 64,000 miles on it, and i have 36's with stock gears. It usually runs about 150-165 on highway, and 165-190 on back roads and hills. Does this sound right to you all, thanks for the help

mine is running the same. i don't like that it runs so hot. i have a 2000 gasser with the 4l80e and i was running under around 100-120 all the time

Geez, mine never runs above 150 and RARELY even moves the needle! I even did a custom install of a cold front to try to make the trans temp go up, but it did little good... is there something wrong here? Does it hurt the tranny to run so cold all of the time? even in the dead of summer the trans temp needle rarely moves. The hottest it has been was 150F when I was pulling a 30ft trailer stacked 10 high with bails of hay, front to back... not sure of the weight though, but it was a load.
