Installation Procedure

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 6SECTION Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: A special anti-seize compound is used in the sensor or line fittings threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor or line fitting easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors or line fittings already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor or line fittings are removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor or line fitting are reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.
  1. If reinstalling the old temperature sensor or differential pressor sensor line fittings, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
