Trans in my truck was built by Mike L out in California - shipped a whole unit to me and we swapped them out. Everything's been great up until this morning when I noticed the temp got to 222 on my commute to work. Hottest I've ever seen it get prior to this was 205. Checked fluid while running in park and it didn't smell ****y but it was way real frothy and well above the hot mark. I haven't changed the fluid or the filter since I installed the trans which was in April of 2013. What are the basic items to check for to determine why it's getting hot. Obviously a filter and fluid change would be the starting point. Anything else? Check the coolers and make sure they are free of dirt and debris? Wasn't sure if there were some common things to look at on these trucks.
