Maybe a dumb question but what's NHT? The 6.2 rad?

RPO code for towing package. Not dumb. Only so if you don't ask when you don't know.

Posting a quick update here in case someone down the road has the same issue and stumbles across this thread. 

 

The trans thermostat delete did the trick. I'm averaging around 150 empty and 170 pulling (in summer). Pulling up a nasty canyon where I used to hit 240, I briefly hit 209 but stayed around 200 most the way up. Upgrading the radiator would have been a waste of money. 

 

Thanks to everyone who posted on this.

So all you did was upgrade the cooling on the tranny and that improved the cooling for the truck as well?

He just did the transmission thermostat bypass so it is free flowing like the older generation trucks. And he's talking transmission fluid temps.
