TRANSMISSION TEMP HIGH on 6430 and 6430 Premium

Over the summer there were a couple 6430's and 6430 Premium's that came in where the Transmission Temperature is too high but it is full of oil. It is also pulling EGR codes and tractor goes into a power derate (engine cuts power and goes into limp mode so as to prevent catastrophic failure). The coolant reservoir if you just glance at it says it is full. However due to the design of the coolant reservoir there is a divider inside that separates the engine side from the EGR and Transmission cooler side. Make a complete examination to be sure that you do in fact have the correct amount of coolant. Don't just make a quick look at it, fully examine it.
