Tranny temp sensor
2008 F450 diesel
tranny temp sensor may be going. Driving truck and wrench came on. Trans temp went to cold and fan running hard. Does this mean sensor going out?? Safe to drive? Can I replace this myself

Usually, that means the TFT sensor is failing. Once the pan is off it's really easy to change.
