Banks Power Chevy_GMC Trucks: Duramax LB7 (Diesel ’01 - 04 6.6L) Tuner- Six-Gun Diesel Tuner with optional Speed-Loader Module '01-04 For use with Six-Gun Switch User Manual
Page 16
NOTE: The thermocouple must be
installed in combination with the Speed-
Loader. If the thermocouple is not
installed, the Speed-Loader and Six-Gun
Diesel Tuner will NOT add power,
resulting in stock-power level.
21.
The thermocouple monitors the
temperature of the exhaust gases
entering the turbocharger at the
turbine housing. Installation requires
that the exhaust manifold be drilled
near the manifold outlet. It is
recommended that the manifold be
removed from the engine to
thoroughly clean out all metal chips
from drilling. If manifold is not
removed from the vehicle, all chips
must be removed from the manifold.
This may be accomplished by using a
magnet to extract the chips after
drilling. The tap should be greased
before use and the chips again
removed with a magnet. All metal
shavings must be cleaned from the
manifold to avoid turbine damage.
22.
To access the exhaust manifold,
remove front passenger wheel well by
removal of plastic retainers.
23.
On the passenger side, remove
the hardware retaining the turbine
inlet exhaust pipe to the exhaust
manifold using a 12mm, 12pt and
1
⁄
2
"
drive socket along with a 12mm, 12pt
wrench. Remove the exhaust manifold
from vehicle. Pay special attention to
the orientation of the manifold outlet
gasket. Retain the hardware and
gaskets for re-assembly.
24.
Center punch and drill through
the passenger side exhaust manifold
into the rear passage at the location
shown (see
Figure 8). Use a
7
⁄
16
" drill,
keeping the drill perpendicular to the
manifold surface.
25.
Tap the drilled hole with a
1
⁄
4
"
NPT pipe tap. Check the thread depth
as you tap by periodically removing
the tap and screwing the thermo-
couple insert into the tapped hole.
26.
Install the thermocouple insert
into the manifold using anti-seize
compound on the threads. Install the
probe in the thermocouple insert.
27.
Make sure to remove all shavings
from inside the exhaust manifold.
Reinstall the exhaust manifold. Torque
to 28 ft-lb in the sequence shown (see
Figure 8).
