Just looked them up do you have an extra 1500$ I can borrow???

DWilbur · 01-15-2019, 05:33 PM

I have to pay property tax this month and save up for the DDG's. so I can't help you

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-16-2019, 08:04 PM

What tilt did you end up going with? Mine has gotten really loose and I have considered getting a new one. I have not heard much good on some of them though.

this one

**First c10** · 01-20-2019, 08:53 PM

I bought mine from a boardmember about 4 years ago and still in a box. I am about to get it out and install it.

DWilbur · 03-14-2019, 01:18 PM

Well I pulled the trigger on Dakota Digital Gages today. I ordered the HDX with the silver background for a little bling. options are OBD port module for the LS engine, electric fan controller with 2 30 amp relays, and dimmer switch. I talked to Joel at DD before placing my order to make sure I have what I need.

As for paint it's been 5 month and nothing has been done. I did talk to Anthony last week and he said he would be getting going middle of this week. so we will see.

**First c10** · 03-14-2019, 03:43 PM

Hey DW glad to hear from you as it’s been quiet around here. I got my DD gauges hooked up and they work great. I bought the temp and compass module. Of course the Bim module for the canbus to control the gauges.
I was able to use my Ecm to control my fans. Is there a reason you were not able to???

Hopefully you will be out of paint jail soon!!!

I forgot abut the ECM to control the fans. Its to late to have the sensor removed from the order as I received confirmation they shipped it out yesterday

**First c10** · 03-15-2019, 01:33 PM

Well you may not want to even use it.... possibly can send it back. I am also setting up the stock A/C sensor so my ECM knows the A/C is on and will operate/adjust the idle and turn on cooling fans.
I will be uploading the file I tuned possibly starting mine tomorrow.

DWilbur · 03-15-2019, 01:42 PM

That will be exciting get it started up and running. hope all goes well for you. With all the rain the last few weeks I'm going to play this week end fly my RC planes.

The big brown truck stopped at my house this afternoon just as I pulled up to my house with some bling for my truck. My Dakota Digital gages arrived and very cool.

**First c10** · 03-21-2019, 12:43 AM

Nice. Thry are cool. I have the vhx gauges and they are cool. But nothing like the the hdx gauges. You'll love them.

DWilbur · 05-31-2019, 12:46 PM

Well finally some work got done on my truck it has been sanded down and prepped for 2nd color.

mjensen · 05-31-2019, 04:37 PM

**Getter-Done** · 05-31-2019, 10:50 PM

DWilbur · 07-18-2019, 02:18 PM

After texting Anthony the last 2 days he said my truck will be going back in the booth next week for the 2nd color. I have my fingers crossed.

**First c10** · 07-18-2019, 02:38 PM

Hey DW. I hope it does get in there I can’t wait to see the orange. Fingers crossed indeed.

Mr. D · 07-22-2019, 06:28 PM
