Temperature Sensor

Hey everyone, just joined the site. Have a 2000 F350SRW, love the truck, its has the 5.4 V8. Was wondering where the temp. sensor is located. My temp gauge suddenly dopped to the bottom & doesn't work anymore. I don't know if its the gauge or sensor. Any help work be appreciated.

The transmission temp sensor is on the solenoid body, inside the transmission pan.

I think that you are asking about the engine temp sensor.
It is located at the upper right rear of the 5.4L engine.
If the sensor itself failed there should be a check engine light and a code set.

Sorry if I didn't clearify, but I meant my engine temperature sensor. My gauge in the dash cluster suddenly dropped to the bottom(blue cold area) & doesn't work anymore. Still have lots of heat. I was trying to figure if its the gauge of possible the sensor that runs the gauge but I can't seem to find the sensor on the engine. Or if anyone has a better way to determine I would certainly appreciate it.
