Just wait
ford already has one built in the truck some one will come out with a kit to tap into it
egts are monitored by pcm in this engine for regen and other things i believe if you egt get to high the engine will depower so no real need to monitor it unless your rig is modified

This uses the OBDII port and gives you the Ford data.

It is in the 6.0 forum; and a link was previously posted in the 6.4 forum for it; the pictures are one on a 6.4 PSD.
May have to pick one up myself. Would be great to know when regen starts, not to mention EGT and tranny real temperature when towing.

Why Bother
Unless you have modified your truck, and if you did you will probably recieve some way of reading the egt any how their is no need to monitor this on a 6.4 the pcm is going to make sure your egt do not get to high if they due the engine will depower just ike if you fuel temp gets to high the only advantage would be to monitor all egt sensors to make sure you are in passive regen ( This is when you have your exhaust emp high enough to Let your dpf work without the pcm getting involved ) If you idle alot or commute with this truck you will be in active regen often Thus poor fuel mileage/smoke and lack of power.
Still have to drive it like you stole it
