If you have a Diesel you should have a EGT exhaust gas temp mounted pre turbo. This is especially important if you have any kind of chip or upgrades. I also agree with a real tranny temp gauge if you have automatic. You can find out alot about this stuff on some of the diesel truck forums. You really need to let diesels cool to 300 egt or below before shutting it down this may take ten minutes if you just pull off the interstate from towing hard. Most newer vehicle gauges are just idiot lights they have two or three settings in them and most likely won't warn you if you are right on the edge of overheating something. You would be amazed at how much thing change as you drive that the factory gauges don't reflect.
