That sounds normal to me when towing heavy.When I'm grossing around 34-36k I don't see anywhere over 200ish so it sounds normal to me,that's not in my cummins though.

Sounds just fine. Transmission oil is heated by coolant in the heat exchanger, then sent to the cooler up front to cool down a little bit. Seeing as your coolant is 190*, give or take, anything around that temperature is fine. If you start seeing 220* or higher, it's time to be concerned.
