Dakota Digital VHX is on its way - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-14-2012, 03:45 PM

I decide to go with the new style VHX cluster vs re working my old one. Or buying a used one and dealing with speedo head issues. the 60-63 are harder to find in good working order.

Went with the silver alloy and red lettering. Will post pics when the UPS truck drops it off.

Sick5 · 02-14-2012, 04:04 PM

Great! cant wait for the picutres.
did they have anything for GMC. ive looked but never found one.

nomrlz · 02-14-2012, 08:48 PM

my son likes the carbon with blue dakota dash and wants it for his 66.
plus will make it nice hookin up to the 4l60e. can't wait to see your install pics and get some pointers from your headaches

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-15-2012, 10:36 AM

.. I will post up what I run into.

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-17-2012, 05:47 PM

Tell my wife that lol

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-17-2012, 08:01 PM

Well Guys I really cannot tell you I am sorry. I happen to know Ross the owner of the company. As well I buy a fair amount of the DD product for the harleys, so my price is not what you are going to get.

However I did have an idea on a group buy. But thats up to the mods etc. I am not into sales on car parts. But I am betting that If the mods can help out and enough people all buy the DD units that we can get a discount.

gofastnut · 02-17-2012, 08:18 PM

it's purdy!

LDO · 02-17-2012, 09:21 PM

I installed a set on my 57 and I love it. Haven't had ANY issues with it since I installed it. Very happy.

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-20-2012, 11:33 AM

Well It was a snap to install, Looks great, Now to get the engine dropped in and the rest of it wired in.

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-20-2012, 12:28 PM

I did speak with DD on a group buy. They are ok with it. SO can a mod please get in touch with me as to how to go about it?? If that works then the next step is to get enough people to buy in...

61_FL_Apache · 02-20-2012, 12:31 PM

Nice!!

chevy_mike · 02-20-2012, 01:04 PM

Damn! That is nice looking. I have been thinking about the blue with carbon for the panel but don't have the $$$ right now. Definitely sweet looking setup.

that is the one my son wants. especially if the truck gets painted a blue instead of charcoal

biohazardbill · 02-20-2012, 03:53 PM

On the site it states it also has warning lights however doesnt show or say what warning lights these have. Any insight?

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 02-20-2012, 04:11 PM

It has a few of them based on what you are hooking up. It has one for a shift light off the tach lead, OIl PSI on start up and water temp ( I think) Sorry I have not wired the engine in as of yet. And did not read that in the instruction book.. But I think you can down load the bookelt and you can see all of the options. It is also set up for ECm applications for those codes as well. It does way more than I need for my set up..

biohazardbill · 03-23-2012, 02:02 PM

Any word on the group buy? I am about ready to pick one up...

jasonpickett · 03-23-2012, 03:23 PM

The group buy it that just for the 60-66. If not please let me know. I am interested in a set for my 50 chevy. If it is just for the 60-66 also please let me know.

Thanks,
Jason

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 03-26-2012, 06:39 PM

I have sent a few mods letters to find out what can be done. None have gotten back to me??? Dunno. as far as I can concerned I would think to add it as a sticky group buy I can get the prices on each version and that would be that.

66shortwide · 03-27-2012, 02:49 PM

Where are the signal light and high beam indicators?

**jocko** · 03-27-2012, 02:58 PM

Hmm. I'm kind of surprised (with myself). When I originally read this thread and saw the very first pic of the gauge cluster outside the box - I have to admit I thought "oh no, another set of aftermarket gauges screwing up a beautiful original cluster...." simply because I'm a fan of original gauges. But I have got to admit, now that I see it in your dash - I like it a lot. A LOT! Looks really nice and just seems to fit in with the dash. Nice choice.

GMR-PERFORMANCE · 03-27-2012, 06:09 PM

They are in the speedo unit. And I was HAPPY to see the new style set up over the old LCD look.

**N2TRUX** · 03-28-2012, 10:59 AM

If you want to set up any kind of discount pricing you should start by contacting our Forum Vendors that are dealers for Dakota Digital. It will be up to them to decide how they want to offer discounts.
