Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) iat extension cable

[HookMeUp]

Anyone know where to get one or the connectors to make one. I want to move my IAT sensor the the intake of the turbo like HeberRam did with his.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just do a Google search for iat extension cable. Here's one:

IAT Extension Cable

and another (12" length). They also have them in 24" and 36" lengths.

Why? So it fuels harder? I am guessing your grid heaters are removed?

I would love to move mine, but just because I have an exhaust brake that clogs it up pretty fast with soot.

Grid heaters are still intact. I want to keep it clean, so it won't soot up when using an exhaust brake.

How 'bout yer finger!! :-laf



I'v herd of mild performance gains by getting the IAT into the cooler air up in the air horn ahead of the engine. I was (and still am) thinking of moving mine for the purpose of fully using the heaters on a not so cold mornig, like about 34*F, and still getting the high idle to engage. I have found the heater warms up the manifold air (cause its doing its job!) and a full heat cylcle even in the 20's can prevent high idle. But the ol' cummins does start fairly well into the teens when I use little or no heat cylce.....



What about an MPG gain. Feul is startin' to get pricy.
