Would cutting some slits in it still provide an aerodynamic advantage or is a truck to big to have critical airflow blocked.

170-degrees is a good temp for the tranny.You might record your ambient temps on the days you test and build up a database for your rig.
Racers try to pre-warm all their lubes before the race to get everything to equilibrium temp and minimum viscosity to extend their range between pit stops.
