gauge question
 

whats the deal with the gauge's? mine has speedo and fuel then 4 red lights to the left for temp, oil and bat. but all the ones i see on ebay are gauges over there also.. and if i bought a tach dash how hard is that to get in? i seen a fancy digital gauge cluster on here in someones truck.. is that hard to do? sorry for all the Q's.. just trying to get ideas for my truck

Re: gauge question
 

Some trucks had just the "IDIOT "lights while others had full gauge clusters that included either a large tach to the far right and the fuel gauge in the lower left corner or no tach with either a battery light in the lower left corner or even a clock on some models.
The larger heavy duty trucks like the C60 & C70's had a combination tach/fuel gauge with either a vacuum gauge or an air pressure gauge in the lower left corner.
If you currently have the idiot lights in your truck and are wishing to upgrade to gauges you will need to replace the sending units for your oil pressure and water temperature for ones that are compatible with gauges.
Also you MIGHT HAVE TO re-pin your wiring harness where it plugs into your instrument cluster.
Here's a few links to other threads on here that cover swapping the gauges around. There are lots of others as well, these are just a few.

Plus my own mods I did listed in my signature at the bottom. Any questions just ask and myself or someone on here will be able to answer them for you.

I think Blue Burb has you covered, just keep in mind it is best if you go with the correct year placement to get what you need.
They break down 73-75, 76-77, and 78-up.

As for the dakota digital setup, we sell it and it is no more complicated than swapping a cluster.
