Egt ???

What is the best way to monitor the EGT? Does the onboard computer do it?
I would like to get some type of gauge what is everyone using? How hard are they to install? I am one of those people who likes the stock look I don't really care for the piller style gauges.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Only get a EGT gauge if your haulin or runnin a tuner, im using an edge tuner and it has an on screen display so i dont need gauges. But just research it on here or go to motorhaven.com and look at there gauges. You will not know your EGT from the on board comp.

pyro, boost and trans temp gauges are nice to have on a diesel engine.

I'm with you on the guage looks, so I went with a single pod that mounts under the handle on the A pillar. It blends very well. They also have the steering column mounts (don't like the look of them and they block your view of part of your gauges on the '05), and I have seen a few mount the gauge(s) up in the compartment at the top of the windshield (for those without sunroofs).
