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.

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.

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.
