where did you find the A pillar? I need a new one and would like the pod on it. Also the cooler mine has a small leak I need to replace it also sure would like to find a factory replacement, but might just go with heavy duty from o'rielys

The A pillar pod was from moes, and the trans cooler is the HD version for the 03-04 ram 2500's and is directly from dodge. (going by the mount locations its gonna bolt right up to my 05' with no problems).

More parts came today...

The Aeroforce Interceptor gauge...











First off let me just say that thing thing was a PAIN IN THE *** to install!!! It is a simple plug and play gauge but the mounting bracket they send was a garbage aluminum mount and DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH THE SRT-10 A-Pillar pod!!! the pod mount is to small or the gauge mount is to big. Either way it doesn't fit very well at all. Took a few slight modifications to make it work right. Secondly the screws are meant for kids fingers to tighten up. The plug that plugs into the back of the gauge doesn't stay very well, had to secure it to the pillar so it wouldn't slide out or rattle out. Also they didn't send a manual with it which is kinda lame, its fairly straight forward but still lame...

Enough with the negatives though... This thing is f*cking sweet!!! Everything is spot on for temps (the trans temp in the pic above was with the truck turned off. Dont know why it is showing the temp that high... Driving it hard it barely goes above 155*). Turns on and off with the ignition, no extra wiring for a power source so it turns on and off with the truck. Im going to have to spend some time tomorrow and go through the features more. First impressions though, I like it a lot!!!!!

It is really slick, just a major pain for the install since nothing wanted to fit right. It has a silver bezel, white face and a white and black display.

Truckin, that thing is sweet man. I can honestly see myself getting one of those in the future. Does it have the ability to hook into a PC and data log?
