The EGT probe? Yes....that seems to be much less of a headache than taking off the exhaust manifold that likely hasn't been removed since it was new in '94. Supposedly what you have to do is drill progressively larger holes without breaking through. Once your close start it up and finish the hole and tap the threads. I've never done that so some supervision or someone else doing it while I watch ( for science) is what I really want.
I'll have to give them a call...thanks!
I did my 06 a couple of years ago with the manifold on. I put a big magnet next to the spot I was drilling so all of the shavings would stick to it. I kept the motor running so any loose shavings would be blown out the hole instead of falling into the manifold. I would never do that to anyone else's truck but it was worth the risk to me.
Oh, and Mountain Dew, preferably throwback.
That's seems to be the trend. Everyone does it that way even if you pay them but shops are nervous about doing it
I'd rather screw up your truck than mine...
If the shavings end up going into the turbo then chances are they are going to tear it up, the shop is liable for the damages if they didn't do the work properly and caused the problem by letting the shavings get in there in the first place
Turbos wear out. Customer could have an iffy turbo they either do or don't know about. I drill and tap his manifold with it on the truck and a few days or weeks later his turbo let's go and now he's back saying I caused it.
Of course I'm very risk averse so others may have very different opinions.
