my truck has always ran at 210 and i think my trans was overheating because of it. no probs driving it like this for a year, but something is wrong and im going to get that temp down, even though ive tried alot of things before with no luck. it runs at 210 no matter what thermostat i put, right now it has a 160 in it.

If your newly rebuilt transmission is slipping, then I would probably imagine something isn't correct inside of it, assuming that you had the fluid full.
I dunno how hot is is in Texas right now..cant imagine its too warm, but 25 miles with an engine at 250+ wouldn't be causing your transmission troubles.
Also, assuming your temp gauge is correct, you shouldn't be running normally at 210. Possibly a clogged radiator, or sediment in the engine block.
