Looks good to me.

Trans should be about 80* above ambient.
EGTs look good, those are pretty variable, but try 65mph on flat ground. Normal between 4-600* I'd say.

Thanks, what about volts? I seem to replace my alternator every year and it always seems to happen on long road trips. Will I see it dieing on the volt meter?
