Truckers, lets see your rigs!

We always run Omega brand, 1/4" if the port size allows, otherwise 3/16". I wouldn't recommend running 1/8" in the exhaust manifold. If you're running a Data logger that allows an E type, I suggest that for a better resolution at lower temps.

And where the hell do you find a 3/16" NPT tap!?

I see your point though, hard to trust 27 TPI.

I took that as thermocouple diameter and not thread size?

Anyone got a part number for the spacer? I can get the zip ties. frieghtliner parts guys don't know anything about the cylinder spacer

Yes, that's the thermocouple diameter. I wouldn't try to run a 1/4" thermocouple with a bore through 1/8 NPT fitting, getting kind of thin. Bump up to a 1/4" NPT compression fitting with a 1/4" probe.

Winter blend now?

I’m assuming that’s what’s happened... the past 4 tanks I’ve been at 4.7-5.0 now. He’s not happy.

lbs of fuel per horsepower-hour AKA thermal efficiency of the engine

(I'm so glad he asked)

Really? I thought it looked pretty cool.

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption

Basically it's the manufacturer telling you at what point your engine should get it's best fuel economy...

1/4" probe
1/4" npt fitting
Type e for increased resolution

I'm dipping my toes into arduino. Gonna be cool

I’m very picky on KW. That one just isn’t setup right for me. Nice truck no doubt but not really my cup of tea.

Are you using that platform for a converter / driver to the gauges? Or doing all digital read out? I have no idea what the capabilities of those boards are.

Like how dipped? If you dig around, you can find shields pre-assembled with Pyro drivers and code (sketches) available.
Then it will come down to how you present your information.
