I just purchased 2 Banks iDash Super Gauges for my 2024 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins SO/68RFE. I was just wondering what are the most critical parameters to have on my gauge layout. I bought this to keep track of regens and see my soot levels (Can't seem to find the Soot % that some other diesel trucks have on mine). I also bought it because I am doing lots of short drives to work (It's not even a 5 minute drive) So I want to make sure I drive my truck on the highway when ever I need. I do tow a lot in the summer but not at all in the winter. Summer I tow every weekend on the highway. Usually a 2 hour drive there and back or so.

Most important parameters to use on 5th gen Cummins for Banks iDash 1.8 Super Gauge

You're doing it wrong
No 5th gen Hd trucks exist yet these are 4.5gen. There are no important parameters to watch on a stock truck since the ECM monitors all the parameters. You have a DPF soot load gauge in the trucks Evic but there should be a parameter on the banks for it too.

I believe Banks has a Parameters list on their site.

Here are the available parameters you can select - should be the same or very close for the 24s

I don;t think OP is asking what parameters are available, I think he's asking which ones he should actually use. Its a good question, I'm curious myself-- I ordered my IDash on Friday. Some of you fellas use the IDash so maybe a bit of advice as to which parameters are the most important and have been the most helpful to you, and why.

These are the parameters I watch on my CTS3, which should all be available on the iDash.
%regen, EGT3, and the EVIC DPF gauge will tell you if you’re driving style is conducive to passive regen or not.
Less than a 5 minute commute is a bad idea for your truck. You should get a commuter for that short drive, not only will the short drives be bad for the emissions system but the engine won’t get hot and it will be bad for the engine too.

This is mine. I did install a couple extra sensors for the oil temp and pressure though. I feel this gives me a good sense of all major components.

Where did you put the oil pressure sensor? 81 psi seems high, the oil isn’t at operating temp but 135° isn’t cold either.

It'll run 80-100 during start/warm up. Normal op pressure around 50, idle around 25-30. I installed a bypass filter and have the temp/pressure installed there.

Seems to me what’s most important is what you want to know. With a dual gauge setup you’ll have ten screens, so lots of possibilities. The “soot level” (DPFRG%) is one parameter I have on my main screen. Have fun learning how to set up your gauges..
