Hey capt. is there a close up shot of the whole cluster ? Does it have a tach included. ( us old guys can't see that well anymore ) :o
-
Does it come.with everthing to control the gauges? How does it work with a cable speedo?
-
by the looks of it they seem to have the layout of the digital ones tach on the right
-
The kit comes with everything, the speedo is electric not cable.
Water, Fuel, Oil and Volts on the small ones, Speed and Tach for the larger ones.
-
this is pretty cool i guess it replaces the circuit paper guages
-
its mounted in its own cluster. almost as if someone gutted one of our gauges and inserted new gauges. you just have to put the bezel on and its just like oem except for the computer box with a bunch of wires running to it. i would imagine it is kind of similar to the digital setup http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php/topic,7638.0.html
-
It is just like the digital version in how it replaces the factory cluster. Just remove the factory one and put this in, wire it and your done.
-
man now i really need to be saving my money my dually would look even better inside with these and i could actually see what the rpms of my motor are. this looks great capt keep it up with the great finds
-
What I meant by my speedo question, is, what would I need to do to make it work with my truck, which has the cable speedo?
-
no it has a electric sending unit you thread into your transmission where the speedo cable goes, then you have to either drive 1 mile or know a set speed and set it to that. That’s the main reason I got the digital ones is for my bigger tires
-
Oh, well thats cool. It comes with the all electric sending units?
-
if i can remember right it has an adapter to fit your trans. then it also has a pin like whats in the speedo cable. i had to cut it down to make it fit then i didnt cut it down enough and it separated the sending unit so i had to pop everything back in place and put silicone on the edges so no water could get in. that was the only problem i had with mine
-
It comes with everything.
-
These are pre-order units now, capt. are you planning on stocking these in the future, or will they always be pre-order ? ( I want one, but wont be ready till next summer for gages)
-
The are pre order becaues Dakota hasn't finished the burn-in (testing) on the first 10 sets to make sure there is no problems. In 5 weeks they will be available as normal. I typically don't keep these local (digitial versions) but they ship within 2 days or less. On these, I may keeps some.
-
yup. I need a set of these.
-
Just to clear up any confusion, these kits are on Pre-Order and won't be any less than the current $20 under retail until the are no longer pre-order status.
-
We need a pic of the red and silver face when it's available. That sounds like it would go better in my truck than the blue would.
-
I just pulled this out of the box. The plastic is still on the glass. But these are NICE!

I like how they look. I was thinking about the digital version later on down the road but I like these better.
-
Can you order them silver face with blue lighting?
-
I like these a lot better than the digital ones offered. You still get the needle you can watch move.
-
I just wish the Tach and speedo Ranges weren't so high, that's what's stopping me from buying one. how many squarebodies go 160MPH and turn 8000RPM?
-
I think this is on my early Christmas present to myself for next year
-
You can get either Blue or Red lighting and either Silver or Carbon faces...
