One end I clamped -tight- to the EGR stem. The other I put a 1" long 1/4" bolt in and clamped down as well.
Now, how your gases got back behind the EGR to the main wiring harness... don't know. Mine hit my SC wiring harness that we had strung back behind the EGR setup.
Keep us updated. A picture of where your harness melted would help out a bit in pinpointing the leak too.

Thanks Grench. I'm having a family member pick me up from school so I can go home and get some tools. The big thick loom that is covered with heat sheilding is what is deteriorated. It's the one that is right next/behind the EGR pipe.
I'll hopefully have some pics later on tonight, but keep the suggestions coming in the mean time.
Thanks!
