Ummmm

For an NA diesel an EGT gauge isn't going to do much good. About the only thing that would do much good for a non turbo diesel is a barometer and an intake air temp (IAT) gauge.

Don't drive on hot days when the barometric pressure is low.

Edit: Make use of your rear view mirrors to to make sure your not blowing any black smoke.
