Chester,
I also have had questions like yours. I normally run 188 and 205 on engine and transmission respectively. But on occasion especially when traveling in hot areas, those temps seem a little higher. More like 210 and 215. When the transmission gets to a certain temp (I think mine is around 215) the transmission cooling fans kick in and move the temps back down to 210 or so.
The transmission cooling fan as I understand it is located in front of engine. (Mine is a CAT C-12 so might be a little different). Anyway I had it tested at Newell and they said everything was fine.
Do you see a steady rise and then a flattening off and then a decrease? If so your cooling fan is probably working as expected.
Others might want to jump in here and offer more informed opinions!
Cheers,
bill
