might be a dumb question, but how bad is it, to have the square d mounted upside down?

Only if you hit allot of bumps ha-ha even then no real noticeable difference. The transverse or horizontal mount would be less susceptible to false trips from bumps.

im bumping this thread for a reason. since djd started this thread, i wanted to know id anyone has had any trouble out of theirs. mine has stuck a couple of times in the year my truck has been bagged. yesterday it wouldnt kick on, and today it wouldnt kick off, allowing my az to pump to like 210-220 but never cut off. i took some wd40 and sprayed a little on it and its now kicking off at 200 like it should. i just wanted to see who else has had this problem, or any at all.

Mine sticks every once in a while, so I just try to shut my comp off before it trips. But if it does stick, i just pull the cover off and tap the contacts closed.
