has anyone used the steering column mounts from gauge works by auto meter?as found on Geno's Garage website?im looking at adding some more gauges and looking for the best lookinginstalation possible.i already have my EGT on the apillar using the mopar srt-10 pillar trim.

Yep. They work well, but do block view of the bottoms of the speedo and tach (tough to see the OD/Off, 4x4, odometer, and cruise indicators).I also have the 3-gauge dash pod that mounts on top of the dash, which I also like. This doesn't block anything, and is easier to read than any of the other gauge positions.I can give you a link to some pictures if you like, but once you've seen one, that's pretty much it.I can tell you that the fit of both the steering column mount and the dash mount are very good. If you go with the dash mount, I'd recommend all electric gauges. This way, you can use a multi-pin connector and make your own wiring harness, which will let you remove the top dash panel with the gauges attached - this makes installation and service down the road very easy, rather than trying to deal with any tubing connectors.If you need to use a mechanical gauge, then you should get the column mount.

My 2001 Ram doesn't have a driver side grab handle. Steering wheel works if needed. Didn't know newer ones had them.

So Tom, next time you're in Dallas, bring your gauge installation skills along. I have a truck that needs fuel pressure and tranny temp gauges installed. Come on, there's pizza and beer in it for ya.
