Warning light on transmission temp gauge

Need some advise.   I bought our '96 Safari Sahara last June with a Cat 3126 and Allison 6 speed.   Runs and drives wonderful.   Drove it 1,000 miles home after purchase with no issues.   Several weeks ago, I took it to my local Caterpillar shop for a FULL go over.   Everything front to rear was ser...
