i have an 06 2500hd lbz truck has 80k on it trans has a shift kit and deep pan. just chnged spin on filter to. but just recently My trans has been heating up really fast. Whats normaly and safe operating temp? my trans just cruising not even stop and go is getting up to 215 220 and my after market dipricol gauge just stopped working to so I cant even check it against that. Is that normal? Any ideas how to help that?

Check your fluid level at operating temps. Make sure the level is no more than half way on the hot grid.
