If it uses a thermocouple, you should be able to take the two wires off the gauge, and then put a ohmmeter on both probe wires and get continuity or almost zero ohms through the probe if it's good.

never in 35 years of driving diesels have i seen a gauge go bad. it has always been the thermocouple. the one gauge i replaced was because i put a pyrometer in an older off road only site truck that did not have one, and decided to put the new gauge in the newer truck.
