If your truck is a F150/Bronco that cover will fit. Personally I think it is overkill. 75w-90 fluid will work fine. If you have a limited slip differential you may need to add some of LS additive. Not all fluid is made the same.

For the gauge itself or the temp sensor? I would mount the gauge to the dash. The sensor might be trickier, maybe an alternator oil pan with a sensor port?
