Edge Juice Duramax Tech Help!!!!!

[IN2MX]

I know this is not the right forum for this kinda question, but everyone is here and I really need help...
I am installing the EGT sensor for the "Attitude" Monitor. The directions say to drill a 5/16" hole in the exhaust manifold and then tap it with a 1/8" NPT tap.
That doesn't seem to make sense to me. Can you tap a 5/16" hole with a 1/8" tap? And, I don't know what NPT means?
HELP!!!! :messedup: :confused:

[BLOWN HOWARD]

Dam didnt you just buy the truck, you dont mess around huh? Pipe thread is what the NPT means Just follow the instructions already did one and it worked good.

SO, the 5/16" and 1/8" sounds right to you?

[Hal]

That is correct. Put your 1/8" pipe tap next to your 5/16" drill bit and you will see that it will work.

The 1/8" NPT is talking about the size of the hole in the center of the fitting, not the OD of the fitting. The 5/16 drill is perfect for a 1/8" NPT tap.
BTW, instructions show it coming off of the passenger side manifold, but after doing it, I think I would put it off of the drivers side if STV Keith doesn't have a problem with that.
Also, there is a company called TTS Power systems that builds a killer billet bracket for the Edge unit that drops into the overhead console. I can get a pic of mine if you like.
It is available with or without holes for auxiliary switches too. Mine is polished and without.

I've got an LB7 (older D-max) and I did mine on the driver's side, however, with the new LLY's there were heat shields and all kinds of other crap on the truck that I last sold the Juice/Attitide to, so we ended up doing it on the passenger side. Whole new ball game from the flat spot that I tapped mine in and what the new ones are. ;)

Thanks for all the info....I got it done...Did it on the passenger side the way the manual instructed....Great Product!
I know the manual says not too, but can you run the attitude/juice on level 4 or 5 on a stock truck if the EGT stays under 1350 and the allison doesnt slip?

I leave mine on #5 permanently. It just defuels if you get up in the temp.
I do turn down the low boost fuel adjustment to 2 or so for normal driving so I don't spy hunter everyone all the time.
