Helpful Expert Reply:
With two transmission coolers as well as an Edge programmer your transmission should definitely not be running hot, unless your trailer is grossly overloaded or you programmed the shift points inaccurately on your programmer. The first thing I would do is make sure you are staying within the weight limit of your truck. Then I would reset the shift points on the Edge Programmer. If that fails you might have your transmission checked out by a professional mechanic.
