Install and re-connect of ICP were tough! - Diesel Forum

Had to put a long zip-tie around the socket to position the new ICP to get it to thread. Then, after about 45 minutes of trying to squish my beefy hands into someplace not meant for hands, I was able to use a long pick to get the plug in. What a pain! Has anyone else found a better way to do this? Thanks.

Yes. Lay on your side under the truck. Prop yourself up on your lower elbow while reaching up over the bell housing with your other arm. If you look up from there, you can't see it because of the heat shield, but you can reach over the heat shield and the ICP is right there.

i always take the intake off, then loosen the coolant bottle and lay it forward where the intake usually sits. that makes it a little easier... sometime you'll have to take the ficm out too.

I just had my wife, with her little hands, put it back on for me. The hardest part was asking her to help me work on my truck!!
