Default New mods installed

I got home from Iraq a couple days ago, so after shoveling snow for 3 hours the morning after I got home I got busy today.
I installed an Edge EZ to stack with my Juice/Attitude, a DiPricol EGT guage, and the service light for the Airdog 100 in a special pillar I got from Geno's. I also installeda new shift **** and a new Prodigy brake controler.
I haven't put the Airdog in yet, but since I was doing the wiring I ran the wiring for it and the indicator light while I was at it.
Here is the finished product. The toggle switch is the 3 position switch for the EZ.

I also installed a bumper plug also from Geno's and a block heater cord. I did a setup very similar to Mayfair's setup so I can add a battery charger in the future.

I like that piller set-up. Seems like a damn handy place to have the 3 position switch. Oh and nice ashtray!! Why the hell did they stop putting them in these trucks!!

Got it here:
http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....er=GM-DG-13006

The color matched my interior very well, and the texture is pretty close to the stock piece. It fits well, but I did have to heat it up with a heat gun and straighten it a little bit so you can't see behind the pilar through the windshield.

I put everything in the pillar so I didn't have to drill any holes in the dash so its all reversable in the future, plus with the switch up near the Attitude I can go from economy mode to roll the coal mode in about 3 seconds

I got the one for the attitude already, but i like the hole it has for the other gauge. That would be a perfect spot to put a trans temp gauge.

First of all...WELCOME HOME SUPER DAVE!!!!!!!

Second and much less important that that.....where is your grabber handle? On the ceiling or on the A-Pillar? Did this gauge mount leave the functionality of th grabber handle?

Oh and Buzzy ashtray's are no longer allowed because we smokers are bad for the planet...heck in some states you can't even smoke in the car w/ your OWN kids [:@][:@] I swear I'm quiting...only had maybe 10 all week...did much better in December but January is still young.

Thanks Froger. Its good to be home.
Yea, the grab handle went bye-bye. It's OK though, its a 2WD and I didn't need it anyway

If it was a 4X4 on 35s, I don'tthink I would have gone this route. I knowit is a little bit of a chorefor me to get in my friends Power Wagon on 35s with out using the grab handle.

I'm think'n I'm gonna end up using a mirror or dash mount .... I'm only 5'10" and even w/ my step I really use my grab handle

This big boy is only leveled...if I get that 4" lift I want there would be no way I'd be able to get in w/o the grabber handle...heck I might install another one on the seat or something
