IIRC tow safe with the SCMT is for towing under 6k..... Tow safe is what you should have been in. But you know that now.

How fast were you going when you were begining to see the temps rise? You need to be going at around 45 mph for the torque converter to lock up, otherwise you are generating a ton of hot fluid to cool down. That is why most install a 6.0 l trans cooler. The OEM cooler has 9 rows the 6.0 coolers are 26 or 31 rows. Much better in keeping the temps cool.
