    DFO, as far as hooking up the qualcomm and drilling holes and such. They have a Ram mount setup that a plate slides under the passenger seat and the mount is welded to that plate. It comes as a complete unit. That's what I have in my truck that Green Bay installed. No drilling holes in dash. If you ever seen the Ram mount for laptops for trucks, it's on the same order as that. You loosen the bolts to passenger seat, slide Ram mount under the seat, tighten bolts back up and you're good to go.

    I actually have one of those RAM mounts that bolts to the seat brackets. I used to have a laptop mounted in my Dodge 3500 for GPS when I took a trip across the country. That's a good idea, I will dig up the mount from wherever it is and see if I can make it work. If not I will see what options they have for dash mounting. On the right side of the "extruded" part of the dashboard (where it comes out and is angled towards the driver with the extra gauges and switches), there are 4 holes where someone at one point had something mounted. If they can re-use those holes then great, if not, I'll definitely look into the seat bracket mount because I don't want them drilling up my dash.

    If the four holes are in a 2-2.5" square then they may be able to use those holes. good luck

    Thanks, I'll measure it tomorrow and see if it fits.

    Man, ya'll don't know JUST HOW BAD I am itching to GO.

    It will be 3 weeks on Tuesday since I dealt with the DMV so the frickin' title had better be here by then.

    Exhaust parts get here tomorrow, if it isn't raining all day I'll get that finished up. If the title comes in the next day or so I will just take off straight for Charlotte. I am so over sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. I'll truck through Thanksgiving. I'll truck until Christmas. I just want to get in my big white Kenworth and ride.

    Hopefully you'll be on the road soon.

    You have to have the title a bill of sale won't work until it comes in?

    Well I got the exhaust all finished short of losing one hangar clamp that I don't really need. But not before sitting up under the truck and ramming my head into the jagged rusty elbow under the muffler stack. Now I'm at the doctor getting my tetanus updated ROFL
