Clamp On Thermocouple Installation on our ’99 Powerstroke
Before the Turbo

 

Locate the pipe running from the exhaust manifold on the drivers side over to the turbo. About 2" above where this pipe attaches to the exhaust manifold a hole can be drilled to accommodate the thermocouple. Start with a small drill bit and work up to ¼" one bit size at a time making sure to remove as many shavings as possible. This keeps the shavings that might happen to fall into the pipe small enough that they won’t cause any turbo damage. Once the ¼" hole is drilled, position the clamp where the adjusting screw is accessible. Install the sealing washer between the clamp and the pipe and then push the thermocouple all the way in and back out ½". Tighten the thermocouple securely. The lead wire can then be ran through a plastic plug in the firewall and attached to the gauge.
