There was a thread about this somewhere.

Basically anything over 230 for extended time is bad. 250F you better pull over and cool the trans off, and limp home because your fluid is now toast.

definately doesnt sound good on an 05'. mine never hits 200 with the bullydog at 50hp.

Not good! :o: Under what conditions did your tranny run those temps?

Definitely time to change the tranny fluid. JJ :)

On the bright side, if you can sustain 250F for a long time, you can get a NEW tranny from GM. J/K
