I used my brother Chevy 2500HD with the Duramax, and when towing too Myrtle Beach this past summer the transmission temp never went over 192*. Outside temps where normal summer temps in the mid too low 90's, but I have a Ford F-250 Powerstroke and from a former transmission tech that work for Ford broke down the temps like this.

0-220* you are fine
220-230* good for 30 minutes of towing
230-250* only a few minute's
250*+ pull over a idle too cool down
