egt gauge install
there is a hard line tapped into my left exhaust manifold. is this what the ecm/pcm uses for egt, and if so is there a way for me to tap into this for an aftermaret egt gauge? I'm not crazy about tapping a hole in there w/o removing it.

It is not a problem to drill and tap the exhaust manifold to install your A/M EGT probe.

Everyone does it...driver's side manifold and towards the rear. Only place you can get a drill easily anyway. If you are afraid of shavings, after you drill the hole, start truck and let shavings blow out the hole. Be SURE you drill the correct size hole!!!! Oh yeah, buy a new, good tap!
