I was kinda wondering this also, I have a MAST with a 4500 so mine sticks about even with the bottom of the window. I was thinking maybe on the plastic cowl cover somewhere.

I know I have a pic at home, but I believe I just made a bracket that came off the rear stud on the throttle body and brought it up around the windshield, never had an issue with it

Extend the harness and put it down near the headlight where it sees fresh air.

We always tie it up right where the TB sucks in air, the back edge of the TB.

Alot of mixed opinions, but i was figuring on putting it in the fog light hole on my TA bumper so it can read a more accurate ambient temp and not read hot air from the motor
