Awesome! Will be ordering today!

So the SOTF knob will have to be elsewhere until this piece is developed, which is fine. I'm assuming the cable is plugging in somewhere in engine bay? Through firewall?
why not make a lil insert that goes into the lil cubby hole that is straight in front of your right knee instead of having to give up a power outlet?

I'd prefer it in the 12v outlet next to the exhaust brake since I don't use that one either. And less likely for someone else to some how turn it.

I'm not downing it one bit man. Just throwing all the ideas out there. I do like the cubby hole as a place to put it as well

right on.. if the knob is small enough, it could be recessed inside the cubby also.. nobody would even see it..

Once our 3D printer shows up, I'm going to print out several prototypes, including one to go in the center console (on trucks with the center console).

The knob will sit flush on the back with the dash, so it should stay out of the way pretty well. The cubby hole prototype is next after the one I've shown already.

I had an idea... Is there any way you could make the knob look just like the factory 4x4 knob? I think that would be awesome. The whole setup would look OEM

It's funny you mention that, because my original plan was to use a factory headlight switch (same as the 4x4 switch) with a new bezel as the switch for our device. Other complications prevented that, including the fact that the dash hole behind the 12v port is a different size.

We even went so far as to looking into a broaching tool to match the headlight switch hole, but even with bracing behind it, the plastic couldn't be cut to profile without shattering.

A matching knob is on my long term to-do list.

I have a limited number of switches arriving today, that will be going out to testers. Waiting on a shipment date for the rest; I've been having to scrounge up what I can from multiple vendors that have small numbers laying around.

In the meantime, you are welcome to call Spade here in sales and have him take down your info for a pre-order. We won't be billing anything until we have product in hand.

A 4x4 style switch that replaces the exhaust break button with a pull to activate exhaust break and your sof.... Just an idea...

I'm sorry if these questions have already been addressed, I showed up a little late to the party and tried to catch up but might have missed it.
Is anyone running this tuning on 2015 and if so how's the shifting? I know there were a lot of issues with SCT at first.
Will I be able to use a cts2 and ngauge together for monitoring?

Shifting on the 600 enhanced is perfect on my truck. Best running tunes I've had on mine.
