I think I like the label idea! I guess mainly if anyone in the future!?...happens to end up in the dash? It would make things that much easier I guess!?...keep the momentum going with the videos man!, really looking forward to some pretty cool projects possibly bigger? Really liked the front suspension installation! 🇺🇲💯✌
Dam that's awesome brother. I am doing my first swap. Ls3/4L80 in a 03' Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Not my first engine but my first swap. This is def need to know info. I will be doing custom gauges once I get it done.
Good morning from Cape Cod 🐟 you do some fine detailed work Mike. I've got all my notifications on but just now realized you had a new video. Freaking TH-cam 😂 I'm wondering how that gear indicator works out in New England slush and snow 🤔 anyway keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
@@HowesItDoinGarage I know they do but buy the time you pay shipping import duty tax etc convert to kiwi dollars you dont get much change out of 2g. It's the way it is here prices have gone nuts on every thing our petrol is 3.25 a liter $7.00 a us gallon. And we have some of the largest oil reserves in the world of the purest quality and we are not touching it. Would love to move to the us.
Another great vid. Kit looks so much nicer than the NVU stuff for these trucks. No surprise this is the go to gauge kit.
It sure is!
You do top-notch work, Mike
Thank you Sir
I will be doing the same thing, installing Digital Dakota Gauges with the Gear Indicator. Thanks for sharing
Yeah no problem, if you need a hand let me know
@@HowesItDoinGarage appreciate that!
Awesome man. Keep em coming. I like watching you guys
We will!
Great job and another great video 👍👍
Thank you
Great video again, well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Good stuff Mike! 💯
Thank you!

Thank you! The labels might stay but I kind of enjoy the heat shrink idea also, we have some cool stuff in the cue for sure
I have the same colour 82' silverado.
Love to be your friend with lots of money to hire you. Much respect.
Wow, thank you

Nice informational video!!
I’m about to install mine soon as it comes in.. now I only need to figure out the harness wires color and functions
You can do it! Simple google will tell you exactly what wire does what

I’m going to guess and say that if you have a automobile with a GSS-3000 installed in it that you shouldn’t be driving it in the slushy snow lol
Nice quality videos, good job! You will grow fast!
Thank you, and I hope so lol
I also have the VHX and want to put a cruise control , any chance you have done this for a ls dbw?
Do they have a plug that will plug into an OBD plug for ls swaps to get readings from them instead of installing sensors?
They do it’s part # bim-01-2
For running the tach wire, is it just a single wire from the distributor or how does that work? I’m going to have to do that I’m pretty sure
Yes you can run a wire right from the tach output of the distributor or cdi box right into the Dakota box
NNNNNICE!
I have the 6 gauge glowshift set for my 87 Chevy stepside. Been extremely intimidated to attempt to install this..
I’ve never seen a set of those
Where are you located and how much do you charge to install? I bought some for my 85 k10 with the gear sender and gps module.
I’m not taking on anymore work right now
is this mostly for LS swaps or any old car with a bunch of defunct original gauges?
Pretty much anything that you want accurate and visually pleasing gauges into
Yeah, us fancy people want ALL the features lol We gotta get you another OBS to do an HDX install (again)
Sounds good to me lol
What wires do you use out of the interment cluster plug on the 85 chevy
I generally use every wire I can, I had to add a constant power, tach and ground wire for this one
Ok just don't know which one to cut
You can just do a google search for the pin out of your year model truck gauge cluster plug
I have the same truck thats ls swaped whats the cost for this same set up
About $900 for the gauges, $70 for the mount, and $130 for the add on module for the shift indicator
Does the original dash bezel fits?
Yes Sir
What are the connectors on end of wires into control box??
Those are Ferrules, they make a nice clean install and help with getting all the wires in the connections
@@HowesItDoinGarage that’s what I thought. Found them on Amazon. You know the size needed??
Nice video make one for speedometer how to connect LS swap 84 c10
You can just connect the ecu wire or use the bim module from Dakota
Where did you say you got the bracket?
I got it from summit racing
I'm looking at a set of Dakota gauges for my f350. 😁🇬🇸👍
They probably have them

What model number are the gauges? Great video.
These are just VHX gauges for a 73-87 c-10
@@HowesItDoinGarage Ok. Thank you. I been looking at the RTX if I’m correct?
Rtx are a slightly better model
G. 😊😊😊😊😊
27 minutes and we dont even see the final product.
24:00 shows the gauges installed….
