Here is a look, I noticed the windshield mount looks interesting and might be a little easier on the install???

A pillar mount is the easiest.

I love my 3 gauge dash pod, best gauge arrangement I have used (and I have used a few).

 

I currently run a Smarty Touch in the single A-Pillar by Mopar, EGT/Boost/Fuel in a triple dash pad, oil pressure over the OEM POS oil pressure in a single pod, and a drive pressure in a single pod by my trailer brake controller.

How much of a hassle was the dash pod installation? That would be my first choice, but I`m not sure how much of the dash I will have to disassemble to even get to it?

The dash is fairly easy to modify, the piece it mounts to can be removed in a matter of minutes and then it's modified and reinstalled.

 

It's a harder install than an a-pillar, but a much better location.

AH, Do you have any pics of your installation? I originally thought it was designed to mount in the center of the dash in front of the radio.. After looking at it some more I think its designed to be on the drivers side?? That looks to be much easier to route the lines..

Cool, I think thats the setup I want to go with. After crawling around in the floor board I don`t think its going to be that bad fishing the stuff down and through the firewall from the drivers side of the dash.

The CP3 is rated for -5 to +15 psi, but most consider 2-12 the optimal range with  8-12 being ideal. I would set it at 12 psi at idle.

I got the spring assortment from BD yesterday. Went with the lightest one, and the pressure at the CP3 is now running 11psi @ idle.  So I`m thinking this should be more than adequate, and not have to drive the pump any harder than nessesary.

 

I really like the arrangement and the filters. I just hope the longivity is what they say it is.

My GDP Walbro 392 has 7 years and 350,000 miles on it and still holds about 18 psi.....but I have a brand new 392 under the back seat for when it quits!

That is quite impressive for a lift pump. I don't know if I have seen an electric lift pump last that long on a diesel.
