Here is how to mount your WOT switch in a 99 and up silvy
There have been numerous threads on where to mount the WOT switch in our trucks and I snapped a couple of pics tonight before I started stripping out my nitrous system. I mounted it on the steering column support without the WOT switch at first tightened the nut then used a crescent wrench to twist the mounting bracket ot the correct orientation. This is how I did it and IMO the best way since it keeps the switch out of the weather and it doesnt get in the way of your foot.

The throttle bar is touching the switch cause the engien is pulled and the tb cable isnt tight to pull the pedal towards the firewall usually it doesnt touch it.

Seriously though...is that really all there is to a WOT switch? What happens if it moves a little, like slips or gets kicked or something?

Thats all there is a to a WOT switch. If it gets kicked them you just bend the bracket were it should be. The bracket doesnt slip or anything. I have had it mounted like that since June and it hasnt gotten kicked yet. It is up too high for it to get kicked unless you kung-fu kick into your truck

Damn it wouldn't work for me then. I'd have to readjust it every time I got in.
I'm stoked to see how your truck runs after you're done with everything!
Oh, and for good measure,
to you too.

Damn, that's a good idea!!! I've had mine under the hood all this time behind the throttlebody piece. That was the only piece I was wondering how I was going to hide. How in the hell did I let that one slip by me. I know.....STUPID!!!!

Dont even have mine hooked up, could never figure out how to make it work so it is just laying lose between the seats and I press it with my hand at WOT. I have gotten use to it and allows me to go WOT off of the line since my 4.8 will barely churp the tires NA. Hurts like a sombich when sat on though.
