There are certain OBD testers that can do that. Pro Scan can do a stuff like that, by using your home computer as the tool, with a OBD link through your USB. There are a couple of other tools that can be used with a variety of cables for diagnostics. I don't have the specific website to check, but I will et back to ya'll

Autotap will read the Ford sensor data if you buy the Ford software package. I bought Autotap and I bought the Ford package with it. It is a great tool and I highly recommend it.
It definitely will read the tranny temp sensor data on the gas motors. I haven't looked to see if the turbo data is there too.

Thanks for all the replies.
I looked on auto-tap's webpage and the enhanced parameters, but you can't really tell what's picked up for a diesel.
Also, will the enhanced package tell you what version of flash your truck is running?
