Diesel Manor sells a great kit with everything you need. Here is a pic of my 3 gauge dash mount. You will want to go to the dealer and get the correct interior paint so the mount will match your dash color perfect. As far as I know, the correct color for the '06 dash has been discontinued which is medium slate grey. I used dark slate grey and it is just barely a shade off. I don't think you could match it much better and it doesn't show up at all onced the dash mount is mounted. I left the inside of the dash mount black where the gauges are to keep that factory installed look.

That looks good, thanks. So you didn't use the spray paint from Diesel Manor? How much did they jam you up cor at the dealership for a can?

The trans cooler line is a direct replacement for the currnet line. but the mod is a tee swedgloc fitting for the temp probe. it worth the $30 to add it on to your package. diesel manor has it, just look under the add-ons when you buy it.

No, Diesel Manor at the time didn't have the correct color. I think I paid somewhere around $10 for a 5oz can at the dealer which is a little high, but the color couldn't match any better. The paint is high quality and sprays good.

Why drill holes in the dash just velcro it and then you can remove it when you sell the truck.
