Your local heavy truck parts supplier will have them, probably in stock. There's not much to them. Just the probe that goes in the pipe, and a gauge that goes on the dash. You supply the wire between. There is no electrical source involved, as the sender generates it's own signal. AS noted below, locating the probe in the pipe after the turbo will yeild about a 200 F reduction in temperature. The manifold is the place, if you have a single inlet turbo. If you have a twin inlet, you're only going to get the temp from half the cylinders. I installed one on my 7710, and went in the pipe downstream from the turbo for that reason. It's amazing how fast they build heat. It's a useful tool. Good luck.
