[trans cooler, eq hitch] after market. temps ran around 215' degrees on the small hills and flats 235' on the 3% grades and got to 245' on the 5% grade. the 5% grades were a mile or less. when it got to 245' i turned on the heater, didn't run the ac. and drove with OD off. what else can i do?

first thing i'd do is check to make sure the cooling system is up to snuff. fresh coolant/flush, good radiator cap, fan clutch working properly, e-fan working properly, etc....
