For the exhaust manifold, I drilled slowly but would add grease every now and then so most of the shavings would stick to that. Once I had my hole drilled through, I took a magnet and moved it around in the manifold which helped bring some more out. After that I installed my Pyro probe and started it up.

 

Small magnet if you have one but I've done a couple in situ and just left them to blow through with no problems.

 

ok figured I would do that thanks

 

Drilling and tapping the exhaust manifold with it on is ok (tho i do prefer to remove myself). But I really wouldn't with the intake on. Any of those metal filings can cause damage to your valve's seats and guides. JMO

 

Yeah i will do that it will be eaiser i think to.


What about the transmission i got lost trying to put my sender in to day. It is a manual so i have no clue where it goes any ideas?

 

I drilled most of the way through with a big magnet that had a hole in the center then when almost through started the truck, i also ran the tap in with her runnin

 

Do I have to tap anything.

 

I've never heard of any one installing a temperature gauge into a Dodge Ram manual tranny. That may be why no one has responded to your question. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't think it's necessary.

 

Thats what I have heard. Any ideas what i could replace it with i got a tranny temp, a boost and a pyro with the 3 gauge pillar for free. So i need to repalce it with something.

 

Maybe another boost gauge to read your drive pressure (pre-turbo pressure)? Or a Fuel pressure gauge? Or a rear axle temp gauge?

 

I am thinking of doing an outside temp. any one done this.

 

Is there an electric fuel pressure gauge or all of them mechanical? And if so where does the sender go?

 

The electric fp gauges are a little bit more pricey. The best place to put the sender if you are using the stock fuel lines is a banjo bolt I believe. I could be wrong. Mine is in the line from the FASS to the VP44, but if you have the stock fuel pump, just use a banjo bolt I believe

 

Personally I don't think electric senders are very good. As for mechanical gauges, yeah there is a banjo bolt that allows you to connect a compression fitting and plastic tubing.

On a side note: hey CODODGE2500MAN - did you ever get your torque converter lockup switch installed?

 

Yeah but where does the electric sender go? On the electric gauge.
