Can someone please tell me what an acceptable trans temp for my '13 Raptor should be. On an 80+ day pulling a hill, it has gotten up to 238 degrees. This seems a bit hot to me. Any thoughts on this?

Lots of different places
I had the same concerns with my '13; "gauge mode" climbing to 210° but temp gauge right in the middle of range...not sure if gauge mode is lying or gauge itself is lying :/ I suspect my gauge mode display is just making shit up, as I stopped and the tranny cooler was barely warm to the touch (of course the thermostat might well be stuck too hmm shoulda crawled underneath and felt the pan). From what I've learned here the fluid is made to operate up to 215°...but damn 238° is freaking HOT. Hopefully others will chime in but were it mine I'd start looking at the cooler fins and considering oil/filter change/flush...
