Mmmyello!! (I have an '08 5.4L Supercrew Lariat)
What's up y'all, Ive spent the last few hours scouring the forum and google instead of just asking on here. I'm currently wanting to add 2-3 extra gauges (both for looks and monitoring certain things.. Either oil, battery or even certain temperatures..) I absolutely love the look of cars and diesels with the 3-gauges mounted on their driver-side A-Pillar. Very clean. The problem I'm thinking is I have the Edge Evolution mounted directly under the A-Pillar with the paint-to-match dashpod (Including picture).
Does anyone have their programmer
mounted in the same spot and have 1-3 gauges mounted on their A-Pillar?? Or, if not, where else did you mount the gauges and/or move your programmer?? I've seen a few pictures of 2-gauges mounted on the A-Pillar, and it almost LOOKS like there wouldn't be a problem if there was a programmer on the dash, but I doubt it. Anyone with gauges mind posting a pic of their setup, and programmer? Also, if anyone has utilized the above-head-console with anything like that?
Much appreciated.
Welp, can't attach a picture from my iPhone (says to contact Server Administrator and tell them the Forum Software plug-in is out of date, or the Forum Runner plug-in has an issue)

I have a different model Edge, but probably the same pod and wondered the same thing. That pod installation was very tight against the pillar. I would suspect that you would need to shave off the left rear corner to make it fit with a 3-gauge holder like this: http://www.xtremediesel.com/propodst...Feh_QgodZGoAWg

Guess not.. Lol. I love the look of the 2/3 gauges on the A-Pillar of a Duramax or Car, but might be a little too much for me with the programmer already there. Less is more sometimes. Just ordered a sweet-looking Autometer Cobalt Voltmeter and replacing our "Coinholder" with it. Perfect fit, 2-1/16". LED gauge matches the color of my cluster AND the 2 colors that I display my Edge Evolution with. Almost like it was meant to be.... Good thinking Ford... Boom!
