Tried to send reps, RD but, you know the story. That should really be changed. It would be nice if the web guys would look into that.

The research and testing you did goes "above and beyond" in my book.

Great work, Cody. I'm moving my probe to the manifold soon as I can.

In the drivers side manifold right where it meets the up pipe. Roll under your truck behind the drivers front tire. Look up at the exhaust manifold. There's a nice flat spot to drill and tap where the manifold meets the up pipe to the turbo.

I haven't put the new truck on the dyno yet. We are going to an event April 12th and 13th put on by the Central Texas Cummins Turbo diesel club. But if I don't have my miss ironed out by then, I won't dyno. And thanks for the offer, but I actually have 2 spare motors.

Drivers manifold, just before the up pipe, there is a nice flat spot. I used a vaccum to suck out shavings after drilling, and during tapping. Tap a little, vac, tap a little vac. Works just fine. Thanks for the rep.

That is a good writeup, but for the pics, you need to look at them with your head leaning on your left shoulder. Other wise it might seem like that's the passenger side. LOL
