In the case of my GMC product, a 2007 Cadillac Escalade, transmission temp runs anywhere from 175 to 215 depending on the steepness of the grade, the length of the grade, and on the outside temp. I have seen 242 on one rare occasion. According to the service manager at the dealership, a warning light will come on "around" 250 (he "thought"), and if it rises much above 250, the engine will shut down. Bottom line: The service manager said I shouldn't be concerned.

I also heard someone say that he thought GM trucks "ran hot".
