DakotaDigital gauges

I would like some feedback on the ease of installation and the likes or dislikes of their VHX gauges.

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

We have sold these gauges to quite a few members, so I am sure one of them will chime and give some positive feedback. If considering these gauges, we do have a July special happening on them, so make sure to let us know and can get you all setup.

I know you are looking for feedback from members, but if you should have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Have a good 4th!

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

I`m getting ready to pull the trigger on some gauges, really wish there was a third choice of colors on the VHX set up. My truck is dark green, not really sure about red or blue gauges...

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

I have blue lit VHX gauges. I really like them. I put the electronics in my glove box. The cost is a bit of a shock to the system but if you wanna' play you gotta' pay.

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

I also have the blue VHX, definitely like the appearance . Don't have my truck finished yet to see how they perform.

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

I have a set too.. but not installed... The fit and finsh looks good. I like that they are modular... Meaning you can add gauges for all kinds of things... GPS speedometer, Compass, Outside Temp, Air Ride PSI, Trans Temp, EGT, etc.... Also, I would think red gagues are the best unless you have a blue truck. Red light is supposed to be better for night vision...

Re: DakotaDigital gauges

I'd buy the new VHX set over the old digital ones any day.. I never had any issues with the old ones except they were very hard to read in a topless blazer..
