crossy,
Probably 90+% of the customer that get the Edge Juice Attitude from us get the A pillar mount like was shown or the new overhead mount that goes above the windshield rear view mirror. Both are super easy installs and can be removed very easily if you need to go in for warranty service too. I had the A pillar mount and recently changed to the overhead and think I like it better, more out of the way and stealthy for thieves too! Call us if you have any questions etc, by the way we have a special DTR member price on the Edge.

1.)are you still running the AM gauges listed in your sig?

3.) what is the whole EZ stacked thing about? I still dont understand half the abbreviations i see here.
4.) since you are working with hotroddiesels I have to assume that your mods are well tested , are you happy with the Juice + exhaust mods?

Crossy,
I attached pic of my current cockpit.
1 - I have the 4 Autometer gauges installed. They are seperate from any other gauges provided by performance boxes. That way I can switch and still have all my gauges. They also verify that performance boxes are displaying accurate information.
2 - Chose the Rancho because they were adjustable. Don't know if the Bilsteins are better or not. The Ranchos are ok, it is a heavy duty 4x4 3/4 ton truck and kind of rides like one.
3 - The Edge EZ is a different performance box that Edge sells. It adds power with fuel pressure. The Juice adds power with timing and duration so they are a complimenting combination to gain additional power.
4 - Some are well tested and some are their's and mine own combination. Still not through trying different combination of mods for optimum power.
5 - I think the pillar mount was around $50.

Sorry I don't have a picture, but I've got my Attitude monitor wear the cigarette lighter is/was. I got some fairly large velcro circles and put one on the back of the monitor and the other over the cigarette light hole. Works for me. I don't light bright gauges in my eyes especially when I drive at night, (they bother my eyes) so I put it down low. Works for me!!!

i have the pillar mount as well, it's alright. you could save some cash and mount it on top of your steering column with the angle aluminum piece edge gives you, i've seen that done and it looked good.

I made my own mount, here are some pictures. Been thing about making them available to the public.
They can mount on either side of the steering wheel and can be attached with High strength double sided tape. I used the tape and then added the screws just to make sure it didn't go anywhere. I'm thinking about shorting up the mount, so it will not have the leverage weight on it. However, the Attitude doesn't weigh much. Let me know what you think.

Edge release of a2 controller
End of Oct should be the release of the a2. Moniters more not so many extra gauges. Looks good also. Like the Gps. Might want to check that out before you do the attitude. Nothing against the attitude.

Dumb question...since I haven't been able to find it anywhere. To install the 'attitude' do you need to first have the 'juice' or is it a seperate standalone power module in itself?

The Attitude monitor plugs into the Juice box... so yes, you need the Juice for the Attitude to work.
You can get the BD X monitor though, which is like the Attitude, and it is a standalone gauge unit.
