Default Gauge alarms?

Does anyone know if there's a way to wire up alarms for your gauges? Or gauges that have alarms that say when your temp goes past 215 the alarm goes off that way you know it's overheating, say in a situation like your out wheeling you leave your jeep running but you have to winch someone out or something and while your out your jeep overheats and the alarm goes. Just an example. Because I almost blew a head gasket one time. Anybody know if theres anything like this

Autometer gauges yes, stock gauges not sure. If your handy with wiring im sure it could be done using an old small shift light or similar.

I got them from jegs. I had a 355 with open headers, so I dont know how loud they were lol. I do remember they were expensive and the guy had to special order them, they weren't in the jegs catalog.

You may look online for other companies, I think the were about 180 each for water and trans temp. But I got the stainless brushed finish too.
