So my gauge pod that I ordered finally got here, and the gauge fits perfectly BUT... The pillar pod has at least a half inch gap in between the pod and the pillar. SO, I called them up and sent them some pics and they have another one on the way and I get to keep the old one. Kind of a pain, but I now have two.

Pics of the gap. I can fit two fingers in between the pod and the pillar...

yeah....IMO any pod you put OVER your a-pillar is going to be ******. Best off getting a replacement pillar with pods built it. Mine fits pretty well. Just not super happy with the exposed bolt staring me in the face but after time its blended in kinda.

The door side of that pod looks like it fits worth a **** as well. Or is it the angle?

Looks like you need a heat gun. Could likely make that fit a lot better.

As mentioned, I would just order the replacement pillar.
Those are 'better' at least.

genosgarage carries a bunch of different pillar options for Ram trucks, and gauges.

Well I am thinking about taking a heat gun to this one and making it a better custom mold, and if that doesn't work, I have a new one that they sent me for free.
