My biggest gripe with the factory airboxes on these trucks is the two piece design of it. That was my primary reason to go to a 6637. Looked at a 7.3l to buy one time that had a cracked upper filter housing, not good. Terrible blow by but the guy was convinced it needed only injectors.
You should be fine without a tranny temp with a manual. There isn't too much of a concern of heat buildup as you don't have clutch packs and other things making friction to heat up as there is in an auto. At first its fun to make the gauges work but after you get over that the boost gauge serves as a nice "econo-meter"(making it move as little as possible).
