Which Auxiliary Switch Control for the EcoDiesel?

[ToJTornottoJT]

Which auxiliary switch control kit works best for the EcoDiesel? I have looked at a bunch and them all seem to mount where the diesel has the batteries, relays, or fuse panel already. I would like to get the Voswitch JL800 kit, but will it fit the EcoDiesel? is there a better option? Thanks!

Just installed the jl400 today on my ecodiesel, it mounts on the same side, but above the fuse panel with no problem at all

I modified a powertrays universal mount and attached it to my fuse box lid for my SwitchPro. I had to float mine over the Sdi controller, most people could mount it lower to the lid than I did, as I have slight clearance issues having to mount mine that high.

Powertrays played a big part in helping me figure this out for the diesel, and said they were going to make a kit based off my modifications, not sure if they have though.

That is neat looking! Nice job.

I don't know what the diesel looks like under the hood, but I had room on the drivers side for the STech relay fuse box with the 3.6l.
Burghardphotography has done a nice job with his setup.

I did LasFit, looks like stock. Has a specific plate for Diesel Engine bays.

Thank you! I’m quite satisfied with how it turned out.

I got this plate from 813 Fab for my ecodiesel, mounted it over the fuse box and it works great:

Could you post some photos of yours? I’m really curious to see how it turned out. How much clearance is there between the plate and the fuse box lid?

Is that hitting the hood pad at all at that height?

not so far, everything is clearing fine

Any worry on that spot being where the hood liner dumps water collected out of the hood vents? Or am I picturing that line-up wrong?

I’m running the Switch Pros
Found some aluminum in the garage and made a bracket for the module on the drivers side and one for the switch panel on the overhead molle panel
Powdercoated the brackets

This is definitely what I had in mind at first, but being in an area relatively new to me I haven’t really figured out where to get some aluminum cut out here. I was going to mock up a CAD design and send it out to send/cut/send, but didn’t get around to it.


I wanted to extend it out over the abs lines there, and hopefully find a bolt underneath that I could fab an arm to support the floating weight over the abs lines. That way I could add my blue sea goodies that I have on my plate. So ideally I think the best bracket that could be made for the diesel would be one in your location, but with the bigger real-estate of my plate if you want to run bus bars and constant power fuses.
