2 Quick Question's

[GreenRiverCummins]

Hello all i have two Question's about mytruck (the one in my SIG) First Question what tool do i use to remove the "bolt" to check/change my tranny fluid(6spd) is there a special tool cause the bolt is huge inside lol also Where is the best place for a Boost gauge or where did you place your's mine (Installed before i bought it) is on the intake maniflod not the "Intake horn" just to the right of the grid heater and how accurate would this placement make it for measuring Boost? Thanks all look forward to the replys

Not sure about the bolt.Here is my boost bolt/boost sensor along with the Hobbs switch for my propane system.

Thank's for the Pic stodg73 it is the same as mine just wanted to see where they are generaly placed Also on a side note after looking over my tranny i have discovered mine has the BD Diesel Short Shift kit i was about to purchuse at 250 some odd dollar's Now to find out what i will spend the extra money on I told my Dad a dozen time's it was different then my neghibor's 2001 6spd in some way he said it was all in my head

Here is the out of the way port for the boost gauge...

On my 5 speed my fill plug is on the passenger side about 1/2 way up the case and requires a allen wrench to remove the plug. The drain plug is either bottom bolt of the PTO cover in the center.

Thanks for the Pic Mopar1973man does it's placement there change the Boost PSI number at all begin there?(Just Curious) And for the tranny bolt mine is on the Driverside of and is huge like a 3/4 ratchet will go in and be loose. But it's a hex shape inside

Nope. same pressure as the MAP sensor or the boost bolt. Just don't have the problem of the bolt being in the way. It's a 3/4 inch pipe plug with a 3/4 to 1/2 steel bushing then a 1/2 to 1/8 bushing for the boost tubing. Just remember the 1/2 pipe plug is a coolant passage and you don't want to mess with it.

It is an allen head and I believe a 17mm.
