Personally, I would rather buy a truck that had been tapped for a pyrometer (egt gauge). That would be an indication that the previous owner was at least watching what the engine was doing. If your egt's get too hot you can fry a turbo, crack a head, or do numerous other things to damage the engine.
Pulling a load without a pyrometer would be like running a truck without a coolant tempurature gauge.
A pyrometer will also let you know when the egt's have cooled enough to turn the engine off after running at highway speed's, or pulling a load.
My 98 Dodge 24 valve is bone stock, but I assure you I have a pyrometer, boost pressure gauge, and a fuel pressure gauge in it. I want to know what's going on under the hood so I can avoid problems.
