Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Welcome dgibson 
Good to have you aboard !!
The pyro is either mounted in the downpipe, just after the turbo (less desirable) or, in the exhaust manifold outlet.
The exhaust manifold outlet is divided by a center casting piece. You can drill and tap on either side of the center piece depending on you own preferrence.
There are some basic dimensions to go by. I don't have the instructions here, on my work PC but, I'm sure someone will be able to post them or were to find them for you. If not I'll do it when I get home today.
The manifold should not crack or suffer for this as it's were most mount them. The tap is a tappered thread so the only thing is just don't go too deep with it when threading the hole.
Some take the turbo off out of concern over drill shavings getting into the turbo.
If you grease up your drill bit and pull it out frequently, clean it, regrease and keep going you should be ok. Once the drilling is done, you use a mech's magnet and reach into the hole to snag any remaining filings. Then repeat the process with the tap, grease it up, tap a bit, then remove/clean/regrease and carry on.
Your pyro probe mount goes in ( about 3-4 turns is good) then the probe into the mount.
Any tiny little bits of shaving that may have escaped your efforts will just get "puffed" out when you first start the truck.
The exact size of the drilled hole and tap will depend on the pyro you buy. Most are a common size though.
You want the short thermocouple probe.
Hope this helps to start with. I'll check back in later today from home and see how the guys are doing and if they have posted the info or a web link to go look at as there is one around.
Once again Welcome to the 1st Gen Forum/TDR you'll have a great time in here, these really are the best guys on the site!
Oh ya, if you get a chance try to set up a "signature" for your truck, that way we can see what you are running, changes you've made etc.
This is done by going into 'user cp' near the top of each page.
