So decided to play around with on the console , over steering colum . I can clearly see my oil temp, engine temp, fuel level, turbo. I can barely see my gear selector. I can’t see miles on the truck, tranny temp, def level. I can move the guages up 1/4 inch and probally see miles on truck and gear selector. I can put tranny temp and def level on the idash. This is a good spot for me since they won’t get hot in this spot. Steering colum still goes up and down. I’ll play with moving it up over the week end. I’m pretty sure this is the spot I’ll be using. They stick well on the dash glass.

dont like on the dash….it gets so hot I get d- bus errors in orange on the screen.

Must be all that climate change in the City... I have always had my iDash on my windshield there and have never had an issue. Why don't you think about some heat reflecting tape if you like it on the windshield there in the corner?

What's up with the CEL?

the cel is the map sensor. Was idling for a while and it got hot. Need to put the map sensor spacer back in. I googled this to see if any other pusher intake users had this come up and I’m the only one so far.

I'm still thinking about adding hood vents on my truck in the future... when I'm really serious and closer to doing it, I'm going to start a new thread... I still have emails from the owner of Run Cool Hood Louvers but I like those hood louvers from a different company that were recently posted up. Went to the website and printed some stuff out... I have a new idea for my hood that I want to run by that guy as I recall he was pretty friendly and offered up tips back then...

I had a vented hood on my prior truck and may be headed in that direction with this one.

I remember many year ago an article about hood vents, most ram air vents were useless as the airflow over the truck created a vacuum over the hood which rendered them useless. and the flat vents let a lot of heat out but reduced the airflow past the engine and transmission therefor not scavenging the heat from under the truck.
Me personally I wouldn't do one without wind tunnel airflow test data.

I think with the 6.7 having an exhuast valley …it would be pretty hard for hood venting to not be a benifet.

could understand the questionable be get with a traditional side by side exhuast.

Looks like I'll have to start a thread and get the conversation going...
