dakota gauge cluster for 5.3?

Anyone using dakota gauge cluster? Like the one in this pic. I'm running an ls with the factory harness. Any recommendations on how to hook it up? Reviews? Better options?

Great product! I wouldn't do an LS without using those gauges.

I have them in blue carbon, similar to what you have there. Haven't used them yet, but by looking at them in the box they seem very nice and appear to be very easy to use and set up with alot of options.

check out their OBD2 reader. Reads the OBD2 port for gauge info, then send to the gauges computer. Cleans the wiring up a lot. You will still need a couple senders wired though, but not rpm, speed, temp, or volt. Maybe it was oil and gas, not sure.
