Let's see how you mounted Dakota Digital control module
 
How and where has everyone mounted the Dakota Digital control unit? Specifically putting a RTX in a 72

I mounted mine with self tapping screws to the firewall right behind the gauge pod. No pics right now as I just removed it to install a new wiring harness, but it was a pretty simple solution with plenty of room. I'll post some pics when I get it all back together.

Thanks. I've seen a few people post about using the pedal/column bracket behind the gouges. This area seems ideal but I think my air conditioning house for the driver side vent runs right through there so I'm not sure if that area will work without routing something.

There was a Forum member that was selling a nice bracket that mounted to the steering column bracket. I bought one and would like to find him again as I could use another one. I just haven’t had time to do an extensive search.

Lol, Now that you mention it, none of my AC duct work was in place when I mounted it. I just got the truck and it was the first thing I did. I have since noticed all the rotted and missing duct work. :dohh: I may have to rethink! Everything is ripped out for the new harness right now, so It's the right time.

It doesn't look like you're getting much response on this one. You're probably just going to have to search the build threads.

Unfortunate as ill be doing the same.... one day maybe lol

Here’s the bracket I used from Deadend garage. I think it was around $40 a few years ago. Worked great although I don’t have AC.

I built brackets for both the modules. Then mounted to the pedal assembly.

Looks good, is there room for ac hoses?

I don't know if this will work with ac but here is a panel I made. It mounts high behind the gauges.

Are used a different one in my 2 Wheel Drive Blazer. I used this one on my 4 Wheel Drive Blazer. The wiring could be neater but I just am making sure everything works. And I’ve been waiting for six months for my M & H under dash ATO fuse harness. It was $60 shipped.
