The 2007.5 and newer light-duty diesel pickups are equipped with
OEM Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensors, all of which can be
monitored with the CS and CTS Devices.
Before a customer uses the vehicle’s OEM sensors for reading ex-
haust gas temperature, it’s extremely important that he/she be-
come educated about EGT sensor placement, and understand what
exactly to look for when using an EGT sensor on a diesel-powered
vehicle.
Edge Products was the rst company to integrate gauge screens
with their power modules giving customers the ability to monitor
EGTs and other vehicle parameters in real-time. Since the intro-
duction of the Attitude monitor Edge Products has always recom-
mended that the EGT probe be placed in the exhaust manifold, in a
pre-turbo location simply because the manifold location gives the
best representation of combustion chamber temperatures. Other
locations downstream in the exhaust system do not accurately rep-
resent combustion chamber temperatures.
WARNING: When installing the EGT Thermocouple, wear eye
protection and protective clothing to protect from getting metal chips in
your eyes. Also, since exhaust manifolds can be very hot, allow the en-
gine to cool before drilling. When working under the vehicle, make sure
the park brake is set. If the vehicle must be raised, carefully follow the
stand and vehicle safety guidelines for placement and use of jacks and
stands.
CAUTION: One effective way to avoid metal fragment contamination
in your engine manifold is to apply grease in the tip of the drill bit and
threads of your tap tool when drilling/tapping the hole in your manifold.
Reduce pressure on the drill when the drill breaks through the mani-
fold wall to reduce risk of pushing metal chips into the manifold.
The 2008 and newer Ford Powerstroke 6.4L is factory-equipped with
an EGT sensor in the pipe prior to the high pressure turbo. This EGT
sensor accurately represents EGT temperatures in the combustion
chamber.
