First of all - WELCOME to the site. Lots of great info and guys here.
Second, is this a 12Valve or a 24Valve? In 98 there were two different engines.
Third, SSSSLLLLOOOWWW down a bit....do you understand the importance of guages? You dont mention guages or even the use of the outlook monitor. If you dont know much about diesels - heres the short and sweet on a 24V - using a programmer changes the fuel map and adds more fuel. Therefore, its necessary to monitor the exhaust gas temperatures with a pyrometer. This is necessary because the added fuel creates much more heat and if you dont have a pyrometer, you run the risk of melting pistons. You will also want a boost guage to monitor turbo performance and a fuel pressure guage to monitor the health of your lift pump. This is the absolute minumum that you will need.
Also, if you have a 24V you should also be looking at upgrading the lift pump.

Best to Prepare for the bombs , Is it an automatic?
And Get a Fuel Pressure Gauge ASAP Cause our Stock Fuel Pumps Suck and it will die and take your Injection Pump with it ,
Once you have a good Platform the Skys the limit , But if you spend all your Money on Bombs then Something happens / Breaks because of last of preparation , Then you have a kick *** truck thats a lawn ordiment , Mines been like that a few times its not good

Youll want a FP guage for sure. Seriously, it can save you a thousand+ bucks. I recommend Isspro (they match the stock guages the best), or DiPricol.
Get a 0-30 psi guage like this one:
http://www.dieselmanor.com/isspro/r5..._fuelpress.asp - If you go with Isspro make sure you get the EV (enhanced visibility) series guages.
or this one:

I also like the Stewart Warner Performance line:
