    i bought a used 2020 520 HX, with a Eaton fuller RTLO-18918B, my trans temp gauge will trip the audible alarm and the gauge hand will bottom out on the dial shortly into my day of driving. I replaced the sensor on the lower passenger side of the trans. This did not fix the issue, is there another temp sensor?

    Are sure the transmission is not low on lubricant? And, just as important is the correct lubricant in the transmission? Is there a ‘transmission cooler’?

    Bottom out? Is that zero or in the red?

    Most times when one’s hot you can smell it. A faint oil smell. Worse case fall under there and see if you can touch it. My money is on you cant

    If by pegged you mean it went to the 6 o'clock position then I believe you've got a CAN issue. I seem to recall the gauges do that on Internationals when they have a CAN communication problem.
