Test Gauges on Dash Questions

I got into the test gauges on my dash, which is really cool. Here is how I did it, but this is from a different year, so there is a bunch of different gauges.
Odometer Trick

Does anyone know of an updated listing for 2006 trucks?

This first one is coolant temp, but is in celsius, is there a way to put as farenheit?


This next one is my voltage, is this voltage adequate? I was idling in my driveway. My batteries died a few weeks ago, I charged them, and now it has started up just fine.


What on earth is this last one?

Mine, a 2006, you have to wait til the truck is a little warm, or the glow plugs last too long. But you have key off, hold the trip reset button, turn key to on, but don't start. When it says "test", turn the key to start it. It then sweeps the gauges and you can scroll through the choices.
