Dakota Digital Gauges
Does any one have these gauges? Are they worth the money? Does it just plug in to the old wireing harness?

I have one of their small Tachs mounted on the column.
Its been there for 10 years now and still works great. As for plugging into a wire harness.............Don't know. I just ran a few wires (tach, power, ground). |

The Dakota gauges replace all instruments and will connect to the existing harness. It replaces the current cluster in your truck and they come with a lifetime warranty. I have sold a number of these lately, and everyone seems to be satisfied with them. This is the link to them in my catalog. http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/merc...tegory_Code=7G

Dakota does not offer a stand alone tach, like Chris mentioned, they sell complete clusters.

Dakota Digital!
Boy, I should own stock in that company. 7 complete sets for miscellaneous cars and trucks and many individual gauges. Funny thing is I never put a set in a 73-87. At least not yet. All of them were very easy to install. They come with great instructions and a good tech support just a phone call away. Now as far as "are they worth the money?" well in word, no. They do the same thing regular gauges do but cost about $200 more on average. But if you want that little something extra that says "TRICK!" Then get em.
