My truck is a 2014 1500 5.7 hemi with the 8spd transmission. I only have 84000 miles on it and the trans was already replaced at around 45000 miles. Driving locally under 45 mph the trans temp runs between 194-197 but once I’m on the highway it only takes about 20 minutes and the trans temp will run between 215-240 and then starts with hard shifting. I just replaced the water pump and thermostat and the 3 way coolant valve. I am thinking the next step is the transmission oil heater. I was looking at the revmax bypass kit to eliminate it but am unsure of the transmission operation in the cold winter months.
