With the gage we use we can monitor all the trucks parameters. I have no idea what many of them are or mean. it is a single gage and we can keep two parameters up all the time or program in 8 parameters to rotate through on a programmable sequence. The two we have up all the time are pre turbo EGT and trans temp.You need to keep a eye on these guys At 1200 degrees the tips of the turbo blades are white hot.Mine is set to red light at 1150. The OEM. trans gage is useless. At 200 degrees it has not moved. At 200 degrees we are backed off or pulled over. We found that the boost gage on the 08 Ford is very accurate although Ford PC reads back 3 places IE: 25.6.. the cooling system is another one we watch although it will rise a bit on the Monitor it has never been a concern. Ford Even Monitors the fuel temp and the barometric pressure.
