The tranny temp gauge gets it's readings from the EEC, which does not continuously sample transmission temperatures as a normal trans temp gauge does. It therefore will give misleading temps... do a search on the trans temp gauge and you'll see what I mean.
GPH I agree is pretty useless, the problem is that any aftermarket gauge would look out of place, and to get the outside air temp gauge you probably would have to buy a whole 05 gauge package. Then there's the problem of connecting to a sender, which is plug and play on the 05. I think the sensor is still there out behind the bumper cover, though I could be mistaken.
If you go aftermarket, check out the Dakota Digitals somebody installed in their aux gage package. I had these in my previous car, and they look great, are easy to read, and are extremely accurate.
