Genos hands down. They're EGT gauge is almost 30 bucks cheaper than the closest competitor, and up to 60 bucks cheaper than many.

A Pillar for the 2003+ trucks

Morning Dodge Owners,



This is NOT being posted to offend anyone or any company, I am posting this to inform the members to a potential safety issue that concerns the A pillar mounting of gauges in a 2003 + Dodge. Please accept this as posted and don't try to read anything into it, please.



Per information I have recieved from two different sources the removal of the factory grab handle on a 2003 + Dodge to install the A pillar is potentially going to change the NTHSA crash "value" of the truck. On the Ford Super Duties you can "unbolt" the handle, the Dodges require modifications and that is what causes the concern.



My opinion is you purchased and paid for the truck so do as you wish, but if someone is hurt during a crash and knows what you have changed and it is brought to the NTHSA's attention you could be in for some legal issues.



AGAIN as I said before I am posting this for information and safety reasons ONLY so please accept this as stated and use this info as you please.

Mark,

What are your sources? I find it a little hard to believe that hacking off a plastic grab handle would have any significant effect on the "crash worthyness" of the truck.

On the lighter side of the issue, I am the only driver of the truck, so if I wreck and injure myself are they going to arrest me for it. Doing stupid things and hurting or killing oneself is a southern tradition.

I know it is off the topic but... .



It is only a crime Fireman if you spill your beer

My understanding is that you cannot put anything on the A-pillars if you have the side air bags. So it will be the dual column mount for me unless something better turns up.



I want to go with the Di-pricol gauges also, but would like to have boost, pyro and transmission temp. and would obviously have only 2 spots with the dual column mount. Westach dual gauges would solve that problem, but are a little busy for me, and the dash match isn't nearly as good.



Anyone know if there is room between/behind the heated seat switchs where the 2 blanks are on the Laramie for a gauge?



I think I'm good-to-go with the wife on getting gauges. I told her when she first started driving my truck that she needed to let it idle down to cool off the turbo. Her response was "Why didn't they put a light or gauge on the truck so you knew when it was cool". Gotta love the way she thinks.

I have side air bags, I decided to go with the X-Monitor: Trans temp, Pyro and Boost.



They are more expensive but hopefully worth it.

We have single, dual and triple Di-Pricol gauge sets complete with all the items needed for installation including colored pillar mounts, wiring etc. We also have the Di-Pricol gauges for the new Dodge with black or chrome bezels.

Sources

Fireman,



I normally would be glad to name the name and company but i don't want to get them in a posting match etc. Suffice it to say it came from a manufacturer of gauge mounting A pillars etc that has been visited by the NTHSA. They informed him that he was in compliance, but that others out there weren't and would be "talked to" etc.



Again don't want this post to be negative to anyone, just put it up as an FYI.



By the way you go to jail in Tennessee for spilling beer the second time so be careful, OK?

I checked out the A-pillar/Side airbag controversy before I installed mine and was told by Geno's that the problem was with GM's setup, and that ours was okay. Call Andy at Geno's.

pod/airbag issue

I just got a pod from Geno's and in the instructions, it said not to use it with the A pillar airbags. Are they meaning the side curtain ones? how far forward do the airbags deploy? I really want the A pillar pod but not if it could kill me.

 

[Dean Upson]

I had the same concerns when I read that and I called Andy at Geno's as I stated in the previous post. Some of the side airbag installations use the A-pillar, Dodge doesn't and it is not a concern. Call Andy at Geno's.
