Tips for installing EGT probe.
I am installing the new egt probe that came with my edge monitor on my '06 3500. The instructions show to drill the hole in the exhaust manifold just forward where the front and rear banks meet at the dump point of the manifold. There is no way I can get a drill in there because the clearance is too tight between the manifold and the body of the truck. I was thinking about buying a right angle drill but even that looks like it will be tight. Would it be just as easy to pull the manifold and drill it out of the truck? It looks fairly easy to pull but sometimes there can be those hidden surprises. Is it as simple as removing the nuts from manifold to turbo and nuts from manifold to the head then just pull off the manifold? Does the turbo easily drop down out of the way once the nuts are loose and does the manifold easily pull off or does it get caught on other things?
Anybody done this on the new trucks yet?
