    Top 2 are axle oil temperature. Bottom gauge appears to be engine oil temperature.

    I would think so. If it starts pushing 240-250 I would be concerned.

    200 degrees for a bobtail is perfectly normal. The oil MUST get hot to flow correctly and eliminate moisture from condensation.

    perfectly normal, if it starts getting over 250 that is when its time to worry.

    There is no such thing as too much information from too many gauges
