Somebody Stop Me
Well I've done another mod, got the viper 5900 alarm system installed today. Already was playing with the remote start and the turbo timer. Have another gauge on order should be in tomorrow and I'll be installing it on wednesday(fuel pressure gauge), but I'll have to make a custom pod for the steering column for it(hopefully I'll be able to do that). I'll post pics of it when it's done if anyone is interested. When will this mad disease of doing mods to my truck end? Two more years from now the ony thing that will be factory is probably the hood and the grill of the truck.

ITP Diesel, a site sponsor, has column mount single gauge pods for both manual and auto tranny applications. They also have a single pod for the A pillar that allows you to retain the grab handle.

BTW- Did I mention I blew mine up finally! 19,538 miles!! Shouldn't have put on both the NOS and the Water/Meth without a bit more testing.
Never said I was bright, just wanted to go FAST!! Did that for half the track!! The rest of the run was just waiting to get to the end and watching the Chevy Duraturd STILL try to catch up.

I'm just thinking I'll take a single pod, cut and paste, paint it and then throw it on there.

Tex, did you install the alarm yourself or pay to have it done? I'm looking at having mine done this upcoming weekend and have thus far talked myself into paying extra for a professional installation.
I hate paying another $200 for that and always do my own wrenching, but this seemed like a case where paying someone else might be the smarter choice.
