Hey guys,

I'm having the Snow Performance 210 water-methanol system installed in a couple weeks and I just realized that it is going to have a 52MM gauge that I'll need to mount somewhere.

I would like something like this, but for my model year and color...

Do you guys know of any good OEM looking pillar pod mounts that are available? My searches have found nothing that would fit a 2016 Ram.

Thanks

Nobody makes a single gauge full pillar. Your only option is the Bullydog 32304 gauge mount that bolts over the stock A Pillar.

I have not found any that retain the grab handle.

Guess that Bully Dog one could work, not sure if it would match the darker gray in my truck though. It doesn't mention anything about the gauge hole size; are gauge sizes universal?

Also, does this replace part of the pillar or go over the current pillar plastic?

Ajwalk2008 - That one is only for the previous gen trucks.

I'm digging this, but I'm not sure it would fit for my year (2014). I would like to mount an air pressure gauge for my overload bags. You know of one like this for a '14?

Have you seen this in use? Is it gaudy? I don't want some ugly crap permanently installed in my truck.

Auto Meter has the 13117 but they do not state if it fits on the 2016 (yet)

All of the 09-up trucks have the same color A pillar, so the Bullydog unit will match. It has a 2 1/16" hole for the gauge.

It doesnt look bad once installed. I would prefer a complete pillar, but since nobody makes 1 for these trucks, this is the only option...unless you want to add a 2nd gauge and go with a 2 gauge full pillar.

That one looks good too. Is it typical that these are painted to match instead of them making the plastic in factory colors? I don't like the idea of having plastic painted surfaces in the cab.

That's cool, guess I will go with the Bully Dog one then, unless I can think of another needed gauge so I could use a multi-gauge pillar :waytogo:

So this one on Amazon, the first "Review" question says it's for '03-'09. That's confusing to me. If the '09 and up are all the same, will this one work on my '14? Did the person who posted that review make a mistake? I can't find on the Amazon ad where it states what years it's for. I'd just hate to buy it just so I can send it back, Lord knows I've done enough of that with my Amazon purchases.

The guy who answered has mis information, or mis typed that answer. That pillar is what came in the SRT10 trucks, and fits all 02-08 Ram 1500's and all 03-09 Ram 2500/3500's...basically all 3rd gen model trucks.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck. That would be sweet if it would fit mine. Does anyone make a dual gauge pillar mount that keeps the grab handle (or without it, I don't care that much). Perhaps it would give me a reason to install an AFR gauge. I'd really rather just have the single gauge for air pressure, but I don't like the thought of the "partial pillar" mount. I just think it would look crappy.

If the single BD one is the same color as the interior plastic like Hemi450hp mentioned, then it shouldn't look too bad I hope.

Anyone have any pics of the single BD pod mounted in their truck?
