It's either 1/8" or 1/4" pipe thread. Take your EGR probe to a store with plumbing fittings and match it up. Remember--pipe thread is tapered not straight. You don't even have to use sealer on it in that application as it will self tighten/seal. I assume you're going to reinstall your probe when you get your truck back anyway? You might even want to put a dab of neverseize on it.

a guage will not void your warranty....
however when they look in your computer and we see the memory had been tampered with then that could cause a problem. it all depends on the tech and what he puts as the story.

Are you going in for a blown head? Or any other major engine issue? If not then take a deep breath, relax, and head into the dealer. They are not going to look into your ECU, they are not going to try to void you warranty if you are going in for an oil change. If you blew up your motor, then I would say you would wanna seal that hole off for good haha.
