Older model texan traeger with digital controller
Traeger suggests realignment of the augur for grills that are not getting hot enough. I wonder if this might be the same solution for grills that are getting too hot.
You need to "true" your auger. To do this:
Here's their solution which I copied from the Traeger website at http://www.traegergrills.com/.
I've been noticing that my grill temperature keeps dropping lower. What is the problem?
You might want to contact Traeger at their website to verify that this is a solution for overheating. In the above case, the improperly aligned augur was not dropping enough pellets in the firepot. In your case, it sounds like it may be dropping too many. This sounds like a routine maintenance thing that ought to be done periodically anyway.

Call Traeger direct.
You have a bad control unit
Mike Treager is really good about replacing anything that goes wrong

Yes you can. The digital control goes in place of the old controller and it is a un plug and replug in the ends. Make sure you keep track of what color plug in what color. Some have a purple dot to purple wire, orange dot to orange wire etc., but I don't know for sure on the older grills. Just write it down and be safe. FIRST make sure you unplug the grill before you start and DO NOT plug in till you have the new controller in place. It will short out when you touch the side if it is not unplugged.

Not sure which Model Traeger Grill/Smoker you have, but they all work pretty much the same way.
The following is a link to the model BBQ055. It should help you solve the problem, which simply may be an incorrect adjustment. If that doesn't help call Technical Service @ 1-800-872-3437.
