Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor - Chassis Cab

NOTICE: If the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor bends during installation, do not straighten the sensor. The EGT sensor will be damaged if it is straightened. Discard the sensor and install a new one.

NOTE: If necessary, lubricate the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor with penetrating and lock lubricant to ease removal.

NOTE: Apply anti-seize to the threads of the EGT sensor prior to installation if it is to be reused.

NOTE: Install the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) pressure sensor hose onto the exhaust pressure tube prior to installing the sensor and bolt onto the mounting boss. Make sure you push the hose onto the tube all the way up to the radius of the tube.

Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Do not use silicone based sprays or lubricants on any components installed onto or around the diesel exhaust system or intake air distribution and filtering system. Silicone reacts with the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) sensor and may cause permanent damage to the NOx sensor.

NOTICE: Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position prior to working on the electronic engine controls or damage to the vehicle may occur.
