For the Pyro, slide under your drivers side door behind the front wheel. Look up at the exhaust manifold. There is a nice flat spot to drill and tap where the manifold meets the up pipe. I THINK..........I THINK its a 21/64 drill bit and 1/8 NPT tap. And it really is easy to do. Don't worry about shavings. Drill hole, vacuum out, tap hole (with some lube, wd-40), vacuum out. Start truck before you install probe to blow any left over shavings out.. Install probe. Cake walk.
