Trans pan? yes or no? ATS Thermal block?

Like I said my 68rfe with 3.42's in my 2011 HO DRW seemed to run cooler than others and maybe it was because the MagHytec pan or the AMZ/OIL??? Here is proof. This was towing 28-29K combined in SoCal.

That's the top end of where mine runs. It doesn't matter if I'm running empty or towing 12k pounds, the trans fluctuates between 167 and 172.

Stock pan, stock ATF+4, stock thermostat block, running a smarty 67ME at 60 & 90 extra Hp level, towing a 15,000lb toyhauler, over 23,000lb GCW. The transmission temperature run between 168 & 174 even in 100*F ambient temperatures in western SD & ND.
My Aisin transmission runs 162-164 in same terrain.
