Talking A2 with Platinum Juice

I will be updating my signature soon...

Tomorrow I am having the A2 with Platinum Juice installed and I am wondering where and how has everyone mounted their monitors? Any advantages/ disadvantages from mounting it in different places?

I cringe on the thought of drilling holes in the dash but I plan on keeping the rig until they pry the keys from my cold dead hands.

Thanks for all your input!
Howard

I like the monitor on the far left side of the dash - but that is me. It should come with the stickey tape - two sided to afix it to your dash. I would worry more about drilling the exhause gas manifold and tapping it. Althoug it is easy just take your time. I would use the 11/64th drill bit instead of the 5/16th. Then you will use a 1/8 NPT tap. Drill a pilot hole first and the full size one. Grease the drill bit first so that any lose shavings will stick to your drill bit. You can use grease on the tap although cutting fluid will work better.

I have a contract with Edge to do install videos and have so far do the 6.0L, the 7.3 and the 6.6 Duramax. I have the two Dodge models to go. You should ask them about and install DVD for the A-2

If the DVD isn't available yet feel free to contact me for help.
