This may be a dumb question, but how do I post my truck profile onto my threads?

I would think that you'll be ok. 200. 0F is opearting range for a trans/torque. I have a 2008 6. 7 with the 68 RFE. I haven't seen mine over 208. 0F pulling 13000 lbs. I would think anything over 230. 0F is starting to push it in these trucks. The hotter the oil, the more effiecncey you will...
