Great pictures on the installation locations, that really helps, the previous owner of my truck must have had an egt. probe because there is a plug in the bottom of the drivers side exhaust manifold towards the rear of the engine, looks real easy to access it from underneath..Working on a building a console in front of the center console, to mount all my gauges and switches.... thanks for all the great information..Doug

What is this for
Hi first post. Thanks to all of you guys for being here and helping!
I recently bought my first f350 2004.
I am looking to put gauges on it and was looking at the pictures and looking at my truck. I found it has this screw right behind the turbo and I was wondering if it was for a gauge? See image:

More then likely that was for a post-turbo EGT gauge. About the only benefit from doing it after the turbo would be for a better turbo temp for shutting down the truck. Not the best place to get a reading for driving EGTs.

I don't blame anyone for taking their gauges with them. But why wouldn't the plug stay in by itself if the threads are ok? Hence the clamp, ( if the plug can't stay in, then the sensor won't either.. jmo.

Twice i've blown a brass plug from my 6.0's exhaust manifold.. I guess they don't like the heat cycles.. The first time it was -20*.. I did the same thing with a hose clamp.. Thermocouples have stayed fine..
