Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2002 Ford f250 4x4 diesel transmission gauge
is reading half way to hot from start up on. Does
anyone know why?

Dirty transmission cooler, slipping trans, high outside temperatures, heavy loads, slow driving etc. I would change the ATF and install a high capacity transmission oil pan and maybe upgrade the cooler.
