Sounds like you've got it covered.

RRMike:

Both leads have ring terminals on both ends. You can just take them off for safe keeping. You will have to reattach the blue wire on the solenoid end of the hot wire to prevent setting a code.

not2litl,

Out of curiosity, what mods have you made to your truck?

Also, just to verify, was your probe pre-turbo?

not2litl, have you pulled anything yet? EGT's sound good but put a 36' Sundowner w/living quarters, full 40 gallon water tank, 2 horses and a bunch of tack, then see what they are. That's why I put the 40 hp. chip back in!

not2litl,

Go buy a lottery ticket. It sounds like you've got better luck than the rest of us.

I'm glad your setup is working for you.

I sure miss the power around town when the 80 was in there, but I don't mind. Gives me a reason to turn up the Alpine and watch the gals!
