Forrest,
I see exactly the same thing, 215 max on longer hills. I fretted about it for a couple of years. The Allison tech info says no problem. I have changed the fluid in mine and it was not discolored from heat. I think Ron Skeen says his is the same too. When it hits 215, I think it turns on the fans because it is too coincidental tha it always hits 215 and then drops like a rock.
