Engine Monitors

I just recently bought a 2005 Ex with the 6.0L diesel. I also bought an Edge CTS-2 Monitor. Now, my question is this. I am new to diesels and I know the Edge will monitor many engine parameters. I'm asking which parameters are most important to watch and where can I find the limits of those parameters? Thanks in advance.

I'll start
For your 6.0 I'd start with these
FICM voltage
Oil temperature
Coolant temperature

I'll add EGT and Trans temp.

Also, get a cheap tablet and use it to run Torque Pro as a second monitor.

I run:

coolant temp
oil temp
trans temp
egt
battery voltage
boost
speed (mph)
the last one is a floater I switch back and forth, right now I think it's set to FICM voltage
