Gauges?

I just bought a stock '06 f250 king ranch fx4 6.0. It has 104k miles. After reading on here I already have plans of as soon as the first thing goes wrong (egr cooler, oil cooler, head gasket or anything that requires tear down on top end) doing arp studs egr upgrade or delete and oil cooler. Turning a wrench doesn't bother me and I don't require the vehicle for work. I will be using the truck to pull toys (pontoon boat and camper may upgrade to fifth wheel camper, hence the f250 (wife doesn't know)).

My question is "what gauges should I put in it?" I plan on getting a scangauge II and installing a fuel pressure gauge. But is an egt

I have the Insight CTS. Big screen for my old eyes. Edge is working on the fuel pressure addition to their EAS. That will give me everything I need on one screen.

Definitely get an egt gauge. You can get most everything else with your Scangauge (you have boost on dash right?). The other operating parameter that you can't get without add-on gauge is rear axle temp, which may be helpful if you tow a fifth wheel trailer. I tow a gooseneck with a relatively heavy tongue weight and being able to monitor my rear axle temp gives me extra peace of mind.

Sorry for the triple post I don't know what happened there.

Yeah it's got the factory boost.
