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 5.9L cummins engine is
equipped with, it may be necessary to
remove the EGR pipe to gain access to
the exhaust manifold. See Figure 13.
5.
Loosen the turbo’s intake and
exhaust tube clamps.
