Nice guys! Is there a kit to put it over by the pass. airbag switch or did you just drill?

Hidden!!

nope, just drill it out and knock out the structral webbing. It will fit.

does anyone have a custom billet one?

Mine is in my Trippin Overhead gauge pod, I like it.

That's clean - nice work. I'd like to do the same thing, when I get that far.

Those nexus gauges are sweet, Just expensive as hell! Looks awesome tho!

I put mine in my 3 guage pod. Used two holes for boost and pyro guages, and the third hole for the DSP 5. I cut a piece of 3/4 pine and painted it black to mount the switch in the guage pod.

x2... if i ever get gauges, it'll be nexus or nothing!

They look real good... so does the switch.

Where else are you guys hiding them, i have a switch block in the long cubbyhole just above the cupholders

Bump ... looking for ideas.

You run that thing at 400+ rwhp and no gauges?

keep the ideas coming looking for info too

I am thinking about putting it right next to my Pyro, similar to Deere730 but since I have a 2 pod and both are used I'll just see if there's room next to one of the gauges. Maybe room for a smoke switch on the other one???? :eek:

My LBZ

oh man i really like that does ur truck have fogs i wanna do that but i got fogs i have all on mod if say i just elminated the switch and put in one with just cargo lamp will fogs still work?
My LBZ

i did mine where my fog button was but i had all on mod and they stay on. i used a spare heater knob for my switch and will make it glow blue soon like the rest of the truck

If you really work at it you can hide in your ashtray. Completely hidden and out of sight, but easily accessible.

Great idea, especially if you have freinds who own slow fords whom borrow your truck and want to go running around feeling what a real "stage 5" feels like.

I have mine mounted in my pod in between my gauges towards the inside. It fits like a glove and looks real clean also.

rader i like your dashpage on your laptop nice setup. you got anymore pics of it?

I mounted mine in a panel to the right of the hvac control head exactly the same as duramax hd. If you have the cell phone compartment there you can use part numbers 15734687 for the bottom cover pieces (needed two) and 15207877 to get the assembly for around $10. IMHO its the cheapest cleanest way to go. Also leaves you room for other switches.

My LBZ


does the switch go from 5-1?? or is that just the way you have it mounted??

Credit goes to the EFI Live team....It's the "Duramax Imperial.vdb" dashboard that comes with the Scan Tool.

All the pics I have are in my garage.

i was just looking to see what PIDs and gauges you were using.

My personal tune does. Just depends on how the tuning is built which decides which face plate to use.

alright thx:)

I have mine in the same spot

How much is everyone paying for these switches?

Mine was $50.00 a year ago or so, check Socal Diesel or Mcrat Racings websites for current pricing. Nick at DURAMAXTUNER.COM may have them also.

a case of beer for me

Anyone mounted a DSP5 switch behind the cigarette lighter on the center console in an LBZ?

Was thinking it would be cool to somehow use the cigarette lighter as a switch cover, and you turn the cigarette lighter clockwise to change the tune. Would be totally sneaky. Then I wouldn't get so nervous when someone drives my truck. The lighter fits perfectly over the DSP5 switch.

I actually ordered my stuff two weeks ago, (shipping from futurlec is taking forever) but I plan on using your write up to build mine!

just so you know furturelec drop ships from taiwan or something like that. so yeah it takes a while. I wish they would say something like that on the website.

On my lly the switch is the cigarette lighter, it looks factory and you wouldn't even know it was there. It was pretty easy to do after a little trial and error.

Post some pics. I would love to see how it looks.

ME TOO!

How many new cigarette lighters did you have to buy because of error? :p::D

Amazingly I only needed the one. I started small and worked my way to the end result, Which was alot simpler than I had anticipated :rolleyes:. I will try to post a pic by monday.

Did you relocate the plug in? I love the idea but I'd like to still plug in a couple accessories.

I just removed it. I don't use but one accessory at a time so one outlet is enough for me. Relocating it would be easy enough though.

There's a hole on the metal structure of the dash directly below the steering wheel that points straight down that I put mine in. Thought I might kick it but I barely can if I try and I'm 6'5 so if I don't I would say no one would.

Here are the lighter dsp5 switch. I ran out of time and patience when installing it so it didn't come out as clean as I would have liked but it works. In the future I may buy another lighter and re-do it so that it looks even more factory.

Nice work man, that looks great!

You've made up my mind. When I get that far, that's exactly how I'll do it. Funny, I already have a handful of lighters from my trips to the j/y. Looks like I can afford to be sloppy!

Oh what was that movie with Molly Ringwald back in the day... Oh I remember now "Pretty In Pink" :P At least we all know those switches using the pink topped knobs are my $25 DSP5 specials. Your truck should read on the tailgate "Real Men Have Pink DSP5 Switches"

Here is mine.

Nice vid

I like this one, but i'd like to put it inside. After doing yours, how hard do you think it would be to put it in the overhead console?

Yes sir. When I quoted, the picture of his install didn't come up. But he had the switch mounted on the outside of the cubby. I would like to do the exact same location just inside rather than out.

That'd be easy just drill the hole and pop it in.

I couldn't upload my photo's but here is a picture of what I did. It has since been sold, but figured maybe it would help with ideas. I made a cardboard template for the steel plate if anyone would be interested in it.

Thumbs up on the cigarette lighter, that would be awesome.:D

I did mine on the inside. It is pretty easy to do just one screw to take out. I put mine on the passenger side so it is easy to reach. Looks like you are getting sometihing out of it..
