I called a place today to see if they install gauges, and they told me they did. he said they usually try to go in the manifold and drill it from the bottom on a lift. is he getting me confused with the fords or can this be done? I want mine done from the top of course between the 5th and 6th cylinder because its hottest (right??). He also said they usually follow the manufactuers instructions... does anyone know what Isspro states in there instructions on where to place the probe??

Thanks for the help,
Eric

 

I have the Di-Procal, and I put the probe in the top behind cylinders 1,2, and 3. I know the back 3 run hotter, but to chance drilling the hold wrong, or tapping, I just went there. It was the best for me. As for drilling on the underside?? That sounds really odd. Maybe your right with ford and chevy with them being v-8's they go from under??

 

yea it does sound odd. Im only going to let them touch my truck if they have already installed gauges in these newer dodges the right way... im not gonna let some knuckle head ruin my $48k truck

 

Yeah if you put it in from the bottom your gauge will read upside down

Might be wise to talk with someone else or do it yourself

 

The Fords are drilled from the bottom at least on the 7.3s. I thought the Dodges got drilled at the exit of the manifold. Anyone know what the temp difference is between drilling between cylinders or at the exit?

 

If you drill it at the exit it has to be to one side or the other. There is a rib in the middle, ask me how I know!!!!!

 

DUDE, bring it up this weekend, I'll help you put them in!! I did my buddies 04, and I need to pull my gauges and injectors.

PM me if you want, no sense in paying someone to do something you can get for nothing, right!!
