is the closest to the correct size into the manifold. all the chips will be blown back out at you so watch yourself but better at you than into your turbo. now you can shut the truck off remove the duct tape and let it cool a bit. get a 1/8-27 npt pipe tap and load up the flutes with grease. now carefully tap the hole you drilled. youll probably want to go 5-6 full turns on the tap to get the thread depth correct. turn the tap until it gets a bite of the metal and you feel good resistance to turning it. then back it off 1/4-turn and go forward again. that will break the chip off and embed it in the grease. you want to tap deep enough so that the probe threads in 3 full turns. once thats done just put the probe in and hook up its wiring to the gauge. do not cut the probe wires to length - coil up the excess underneath the dash. for lighting you can tap the larger-of-the-two orange/black wires from the headlamp switch this is the dimmer circuit. for a switched +12v you can tap the red wire from the cigarette lighter. for ground you can use the grounding screw on the lower dash frame behind the knee blocker panel. . 222 305850 5l5xe.66338$4i6.52064@tornado.tampabay.rr.com hang in there tom maintain your good attitude and keep your chin up. management will take note of that i can assure you. if they do have to cut you loose dont take it personally. its all part of conducting business. sometimes management thinks that their jobs suck too. they will most likely have good things to say about you if you ever need a reference for another job. there is great value in that. motorcity snip i can say that this work ethic seems to be a dying breed around here these days. id just like to know if it is more about the attitude than the number of hours on the job. motorcity i think its more the attitude than the hours. for the past 13 years i have been the network guru in a small manufacturing plant. it was nothing for me to come in 1 or 2 saturdays a month for 4 to 10 hours and work long hours during the week. i didnt mind even though i am paid salary because it was part of the job thats what i needed to do to make changes or repairs to the network and frankly i loved what i was doing. then when the manufacturing sector crashed around 9-11 there were a number of lay-offs and jobs were consolidated. not only was my job the network but now i had to unload trucks pull parts for assembly jobs put other parts away and other to me bs jobs that we could have kept one person to do. my attitude went down the tubes along with network consistency and other things hard for one person to do 2-1/2 jobs. its not that i minded the physical labor- i worked my way up from machinist 5 years to nc programmer 2 years to network administrator. it was just that after business picked back up there was no one hired back in my department and we were expected to work overtime to cover what needed to be done. i use any excuse i can to not work over 40 now. my boss doesnt have to tell me my attitude sucks- i told her that. i hate my job now and have been actively seeking employment elsewhere. but jobs are scarce around here or the pay is no where near what im making now. im 59 now so i might just tough it out for 3 or 4 more years and draw social security unless they do me a favor and fire me first. sorry for the rant just the way i feel. sc tom may be seen in truck world - www.infotruck.blogspot.com working beyond the standard eight-hour day may raise the risk of job-related injuries regardless of a persons occupation a new study suggests... among nearly 10800 us adults followed for 13 years researchers found that those who worked overtime or on regularly extended shifts were at greater risk of on-the-job injuries. and the effect was not limited to hazard-fraught industries... muscle and joint problems were the most common complaint followed by cuts and bruises according to findings published in the journal occupational and environmental medicine... .
