You must have just gotten it in after I dropped the upcharge on the green at close of day 5pm central.. I'll get it out ASAP.

One question can you buy the digital gauges and then buy the GSS-2000 sender later?

**Captkaos** · 03-09-2008, 08:33 AM

Yes, you can.

rallysportchic97 · 03-10-2008, 03:50 AM

I think you'll love the gauges. I've seen cars and trucks with them at car shows and their awesome. I plan to put some in my truck some day. But in response to the question earlier about the odometer being set at 000000, I'm pretty sure Dakota Digital will put your current odometers reading on there for an additional $20 I think.

Frosty · 03-15-2008, 09:24 PM

Got them yesterday! I'm excited on getting these put in. They look cool already just sitting on the florr!

**Captkaos** · 03-15-2008, 09:43 PM

Sweet!

Frosty · 04-22-2008, 07:13 PM

They are IN! And get this EVERYTHING WORKS!!!! The Green looks great and did I say everything works?! I haven't been this happy about a project in quite some time. Thank you, Capt!

All I gotta say is

!!!!!!!!

**Captkaos** · 04-22-2008, 07:44 PM

Excellent! Glad to help out. Now, where are those pics!

babyJay · 04-22-2008, 09:35 PM

CaptKaos, if I were to do this to my 87 like I'd love to, does the kit have provisions for vehicles originally equipped with dummy lights and not gauges? Thanks
Jason

**Captkaos** · 04-23-2008, 12:58 AM

Doesn't matter what the truck came with before, the whole cluster where the stock gauges or dummy lights are completely replaced with the Dakota setup and it comes with all the sensors that the cluster needs.

Here is one a customer did:

I just did this same thing on my '87. There was 21 years of CRUD inside of there!

Frosty · 05-14-2008, 11:40 PM

Here are those pictures! Sorry only two came out.

Mickey_D · 05-15-2008, 12:28 AM

CaptKaos, I hope you're still checking on this thread. Is there a possibility of getting them for my 1993 S-10 Blazer? I really like the looks of them in Frosty's truck.

Nice install Frosty.

Frosty · 05-15-2008, 01:03 AM

Thanks! I wish the pictures I took turned out as well as the install did. I will try to take some better pictures next time. I love the way they look in the truck! So easy to read.

babyJay · 05-15-2008, 02:15 PM

You better shut that thing off, you have 0 oil psi!

The funny thing is when I posted that picture I thought the same thing! I guess I should have started it so you could see the oil and the rpms.

**Captkaos** · 05-20-2008, 06:30 PM

Sweet! Glad you like them.

Mickey_D I can sell everything Dakota has, and they have a setup for 86-93 S-10s. I am still in catch up mode from being out for a week...

**Captkaos** · 05-21-2008, 05:43 AM

BTW, the S10 version is $479.95 + shipping ($21)

No, but I am only missing 1, and apparently my brother lost it. Bad thing is, that was my spare.
