Finally got a scan gauge

Yep got a aero force gauge from Jim. I love this thing! Now I can see what's going on with my truck. Now just to find a good spot to mount it, any suggestions?

There is a spot in the dash by where the wts light is, I was going to put mine there but ended up putting a steering column pod on. Not a real big fan of that, thinking of moving mine there.

I really like that place. I'm gonna get that done. That is the main reason I never drilled holes to fasten my column mount down. I wanted to be sure I liked it, and I really don't.

You have issues with the shift lever hitting the back of the gauge cup ?

Ya, I've cut it some but it still does. Doesn't hit the gauge, hits on the body of it iirc.

I can't remember for sure. I've got crs bad. I just know the shifter hits some, especially when going into park. Tilt isn't ideal either, works but isn't perfect with this.

Mine gets hit also when putting it into park. How do you pop out that panel by the WTS?

You have to take the dash bezel off
