717 & MD-90 - Brake Temp Monitoring - Gauge on MD-90
727, 737 & 757 - Wheel well fire detection system. No Brake Temp readout
747-all models, 767 & 777 - Both wheel well fire detection system & Brake Temp Monitoring
No aircraft (Airbus or Boeing/McD) have wheel well fire suppression installed. Usual procedure is to hang your feet out to cool.
757's can have a temp readout (we have, as did british airways). It's a cutomer option and shows on Eicas together with hyd press, oxy press, apu rpm etc. It shows numbers in eight boxes ranging from 0 to 10. The numbers turn red when passing a certain value.
