Yep, these are the three you need. And get decent quality gauges that are readable in all light conditions. The factory gauges in a modern PU truck are barely worthwhile. Other than coolant temp, they do not actually move in a linear or calibrated way with changes in what they are supposedly measuring.
If the trans temp is within a certain range, the gauge needle will park itself dead in the middle of the field. Same w voltage, etc. If a gauge like oil pressure doesn't move while you go from idle to acceleration, it isn't really measuring.
You are smart not to run a tuner without proper gauges. You have absolutely no idea what EGTs are without them.
