Dakota Digital Anyone??
Has anyone installed a Dakota Digital setup in their truck? Is it worth while spending the money to get one or are they more of a novelty? I wonder how reliable they are. What are your opinions?

Re: Dakota Digital Anyone??
I have it, would go somewhere else next time, you would spend about the same amount anywhere else for custom set ups. i have an issue with my speedo that I need to fix, but everything works ok. Wasnt a big market when I bought it then, everyone is selling stuff now.

Re: Dakota Digital Anyone??
our eyes and brain work better/faster with analog gauges versus digital/numerical read-out gauges ... one of the main reasons GM did away with digital gauges in the Corvettes and returned to analog/hand-type/pointer gauges ... or so "they" say.
plus analog gauges just plain look cooler ![]() |

Re: Dakota Digital Anyone??
I've got one in mine and love it. Lots of features, bright gauges and the check engine light (Words) helps with the LT4 I'm running.

Re: Dakota Digital Anyone??
I bought my '72 with one already in it. Everything works well except the clock. That problem may be due to a power supply issue. It looks cool at night, hard to read in daytime with the sun at your back. Mine has the transmission indicator unit as well. When I changed from column to floor shift I had to reprogram the sender. It was easy to do and still works great 2 years later. Would I buy one and install it? Probably not. There are too many cool custom analog units out there now.

Re: Dakota Digital Anyone??
I am thinking about getting a Dakota Digital dash but the sun glare on the dash has me second guessing the purchase. Does anyone have any pictures of the custom gauges?
By the way I renewed my membership for another year!!!
