Ive posted before before and have gotten great answer. I have followed every tip you guys have giving me and my transmission fluid temperature is overheating reaching temps of 265-280 just normal driving. The dealer replaced the thermo bypass valve. They also change the radiator thinking that the transmission cooler inside the radiator was plugged. But nothing has change. Ive done some research and it says that the condenser also has a transmission cooler built-in to it. Would this be the next step to try and see if I can get the trans temperature back to normal. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would disconnect the fluid lines and see if compressed air flows through after there residual fluid is pushed out. It sure seems that the fluid is not seeing either cooler like what would happen if the trans thermostat stays in bypass.

Year, make and model would help us help you. The next step I would take is to take it to a local indy transmission shop with great google reviews, and have them diagnose it properly.

If you're handy though, have the tools and know-how to work on your truck yourself, I would as Rygrego suggests and see if you can get compressed air through the external cooler, which if you have a 2015-2020 truck, is siamesed to the A/C condenser, yes.
