Update: I did everything last week and so far so good. My EOT and ECT stay 2-4 degrees of each other now. I left the EGR valve plugged in and I'm not getting a check engine light for the Sinister delete. The straight pipe is loud, but I'm loving it. Thanks again for the advice.

Did you get a fuel pressure gauge yet?

Not yet. It's next on my list. Can't decide on a gauge or where to mount it.

If you're good with ABS plastic, glue, and a dremel you can make a pod for the steering column and mount it there. That's what I did.

Mine is mounted on a steering column mount I bought from Diesel Manor when I bought my gauge. Fits great, looks great

03 and 04's had the steering pods. I haven't found one to work on the later ones(05 on up). Unless that's just since I did mine a couple of yrs ago, I don't think they have one for those later ones.

I got a colum pod from autometer for my 05 and it fits great.

Ok, so they did come out with some for that. I had to custom make mine at the time no one offered them for the 05s and up. That's good that they have them pre-fabbed.

I'm thinking about putting in the plastic panel next to the switch for the adjustable pedals (left of the steering wheel).
