2012 JKU Trans Temp
I'm not used to having all of these temp gauges.
I am lifted on 35s. Fenders. Steel bumpers front and rear, a winch.
I live in Albuquerque NM, over a mile elevation, highest metro city in the US.
It's getting super hot here. Stop and go, just trash traffic.
I'm constantly seeing 226 coolant, and 230 oil temps. Fans kick on and it goes down a lot.
Trans gets to 185 and stays. That's just awful stop and go with the AC blasting.
Is this OK?

That seems a bit high for trans temp to me, but I think you're typically "ok" up to 200° which is where overheating becomes more of an issue. I live in the DFW area and deal with decent heat. My transmission temps are typically around 165-170° range.
