Ok well had duty today so could't get anything done, but when you go to install your pyro the metal banding must be on top of the probe to hold it into the pipe, when you get it the package (if from Diesel Manor) you will have to take out the set screw, slide off the collar and the bushing (looks like valve packing), then slide the metal banding back up the thermo, put the collar back on to the shaft and tightin it down with the set screw then keep track of the bushing until its ready to be installed.

I'm in the same situation its too cold out today and its already dark out at 2:00...so Im gonna do the paint and set up for tomorrow, I will start it tomorrow. I also bought the isspro but I got the black face, black bezel. Isspro gauges are very nice btw..I deff. like them more then the autometers I have had in the past.

just wondering why you went with the clamp instead of tapping the manifold.

Yea todays weather out here in Hampton, VA today was 40 degrees, really windy and lots of rain. But I got a call yesterday and was told im goin on a campin trip out in the mountain on Friday so I had to hurry up and install some of the guages today. So I crawled under the truck threw down some cardboard and did the tranny temp. Well I ran all the wires, spliced, tapped em up, connected them to the sensor slapped some silicone RTV on it and screwed it in. Just to find out I am not getting a temp reading. now I have to use the instructions to see what I did wrong. (I hate instructions). Ill get pictures when the weather is better. BTW cold+windy+rain+metal tools= red and pink fingers+wrench slipping off sensor plug in on the tranny temp really sucks.

I installed mine last night, Looks insane..the install went pretty good..easy after you finish..I look back and say man I probably could have done that in like 2 hours lol..everything went good for me but I got into a little fight with a drill bit..He won the fight but I won the battle..I cut it in half with a cut off wheel lol..Ill get some pics up if you want
