i have installed them on 7.3 6.0 and it pretty easy takes about 20 minites to get old out unless you cut it after down pipe and muffler then 1o min but get a 2 person to help hold it while making connection and it goes much easier and you can do the whole project in about 35 minutes or less

Not bad at all the Dpf sux because it's so heavy. But all of the rest of the parts are bolted together come right apart pretty easy. The downpipe it's hard to tighten up. Bad position to bolt to. Not impossible by any means... Took me an hour. Also good to have help.

Only if you don't have short tools to tighten up that top npbolt on the downpipe lol like I said that Dpf is heavy so help is nice. Wasn't bad for me but could be if you have a bad back.

No I just in clipped mine and tucked them up out of the way with zip ties. Put dielectric grease in them and tape them over so they don't rot out.

The only hard part to me was getting to some of the plugs to unhook them from the dpf, other than that it was pretty easy and only took about an hour an a half by my self

Depends. They all unplug up by clips. And the sensors themselves screw into the Dpf. Easy peasy. The DEF injector I have half azz end undone though. Idk what to do with it. Lol

ok guys finally went and looked under my truck and it scared me haha. I think i saw 2 or 3 sensors and it looked to be also 3 egt sensors. What did you guys do with your egt sensors my new exhaust didnt come with anything for the egt senors to bolt into? Sorry for so many questions guys

They all have clips buddy just trace from the sensor up the wires and they're attached up higher. You'll see. Just lay down and look at it for a minute. You'll see what I'm saying.
