Differential Fluid Temp?

I did a search, but was surprised that I didn't find any numbers. Can anyone tell me what normal and max operating temps are for a GM 10 bolt?

Kind of a generic temp answer, after i bought my temp taking laser gun I shot everything possible. I noticed after street driving and multiple back to back trips down the track the aluminum diff cover would hover around 98-110*. I dont know what acutal fluid temp was though, sorry.

Thanks IHI. That should put me close enough. Gotta get me one of those temp guns.
