Been looking at trinity t1000 but I'm looking for the A pillar mount. Do they make a mount for the trinity or would I have to get a universal A pillar and make it work? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

You can get a gauge pod mount for the trinity that will work in an aftermarket A-pillar cover but having that tuner plugged in all the time could possibly mess with the transmission of radio frequencies between your keyless entry and TPMS if you have those options. I have a 2008 and by leaving my Trinity plugged in all the time my TPMS light was always on and the transmitting range of my key fob was greatly reduced. Normally I had well over a hundred feet of range but it was reduced to under ten feet. Mine also has remote start so I couldn't even start the truck from the house.

I even put about eight of them ferrite tubes from radio shack on the cable and it hardly did anything. If I were you I would go over to Diablo Sport's forums from their web page and browse through the topics to see if anyone else has had that problem with an 05. Dodge wasn't the only one having problems with that as there were many other brands having similar issues.

If it'll work for ya, here's what the gauge pod mount looks like--

....and as far as the new A-pillar cover, I just found a Mopar parts website that had a single or I believe a three hole cover that was a direct replacement from Mopar.

Hope it works out for ya.

You bet.

It still kinda aggravates me but if I woulda known the Trinity was gonna interfere with that stuff, I woulda just saved a few bucks and went with the Intune..lol.

The Trinity is nice, though. I found the drag race times thing to be kinda redundant but the gauges were sure nice. If you ever tow, it's nice being able to monitor trans temp, engine oil temp, catalytic converter temp... Fuel pressure among other things that your dash gauges don't tell you.
