Thermocouple Installation

1.

Locate and identify the parts in

your kit. Make sure that all the parts

match up to the Bill of Materials list

before starting.

2.

Use caution when working in the

engine compartment. Make sure the

engine has been OFF for several hours

and cool.

3.

The exhaust gas temperature (EGT)

sensor monitors the temperature of

the exhaust entering the turbocharger

turbine housing. Installation requires

that the exhaust manifold be drilled

near the outlet of the manifold

adjacent to the turbine housing. For

this reason it is essential that the

turbocharger be removed from the

exhaust manifold, or engine in order

to keep out any metal chips from

drilling that could cause turbine blade

damage.
The cummins ISB engine uses

a divided exhaust manifold and

turbocharger. The EGT sensor must

be installed to sample exhaust

temperature in one of the two exhaust

passages. Typically the exhaust

temperature will not differ appreciably

between the two passages. It is

recommend installing the sensor in

the rear manifold passage to simplify

routing the sensor wiring.

4.

Locate the exhaust manifold where

the EGT sensor is to be installed.

Depending on the year and type of

turbo your 5.9/6.7L cummins engine is

equipped with, it may be necessary to

remove the EGR pipe to gain access to

the exhaust manifold. See Figure 13.
