2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Calling all Cup Smoothie owners: Another "cup smoothie" question..... or 2

[Got Smoke?]

Ok I order Geno's Cup Smoothie along with a fuel filter Thursday morning.



Great customer service, even agreed to ship to somewhere besides my house because my dog's have been known to "eat" packages.



Anyway... ... . so it arives Friday mid-day to my surprise, especially after agreeing to have it sent USPS and it get's sent UPS



I hurriedly pick it up anxious to test it out to see if it would fit with my eaton fuller shifter knob. Well it cleared fine in 2nd, 4th you better pray it has a top!, and Reverse is perfectly between both drink holders.



I have 2 outstanding problems with my Cup Smoothie though.

1. There is a 1/2" or so between the curve of the 'smoothie and my console!
   
2. 2 I put a regular pair of pliers (no locking plier available) on the connector for the latch and couldn't budge it!
   
   [/list=1]
   
   
   
   While at BMD last week I noticed Tom has a Cup Smoothie in his '02 Dually, and his fits almost flush up against his console.
   
   
   
   Now is this common with all 94-98 Dodge/Cup Smoothies or did I just get an outta shape one? I'm thinking of sending it back for a replacement and seeing if it is the same.
   
   
   
   Lastly, what did YOU use to get that stupid latch catch to move?!?!?!#@$%!

I used a regular old needle nose pliers to turn my latch, my truck is a 96 and it worked fine. Also the gap you see I also had but I used the velcro strips to secure it as far back in the console as I could then I got some extra velcro and made another attatchment to the bottom of the console to the bottom of the cup holder. Hope this helps.

If anyone wants them email me for info. They fit 98 and up, one's lt gray and one is black. I installed the Ultimate console, which I like much better.

Are you talking about Rob Thomas's? I love his console, but I can't afford it. :{



Maybe for Christmas... . after all the lady at Geno's said I could return my Cup Smoothie up to a full 6 months if I decided I didn't like it. :-laf

Ultimate Console?

Whats "The Ultimate Console"? Can you post a link? I have a Cup Smoothie, but would like something that didn't look quite so 'plasticy'.



Thanks- Gary Mc
