The console is your friend. What I would do is type dataLayer into the console after dataLayer.push, then click on the last object in the array and you'll see your values.

For instance, I put the dataLayer.push on an onclick event and ran dataLayer and was able to see this come through. Granted they are static values, but you get the idea.

UPDATE:

Google Tag Manager has updated their debugger, allowing you to see both Names or Values being passed into GTM.
