I'm about to add a Pyro gauge to my 2006 6.0 and was wondering if anyone had some good pics of the best place to put the temp probe. I know about the dangers of the metal shavings and thigns of that nature.... just wondering where everyone seems to be tapping their exhaust at. Thanks in advance for any ideas/pics.....

 

 

Thank you!!.. I leave for 2 months out of country for work on Tues.. but i will be tapping that manifold as soon as i get back for sure.

 

I've heard of how to do it a million different ways with using grease on the bits and this and that. Personally I just drilled it with no grease (I was told the grease would hold the bits, but if grease flung off inside you couldn't get that out...) and then just put a vacuum on the hole to suck the shavings out. I didn't have any issues.

 

Drill tap and done.

Dont worry about the shavings, most will fall in your eyes, what dont will blow right past the exhaust wheel without issue.

 

Bingo. I used a small extension magnet, but only because I had it in the door of my truck
