My Dakota Digital gauges

[samckitt]

Spent a little time yesterday to start to install my custom Dakota Digital gauges. I have the BIM-01-2 module which plugs into the ALDL connector of LS engines & will get inputs for the speed, tach, temp, oil pressure, & check engine light all from one wire.

Removed all existing electrical contacts, lights & the flex circuit board. The extra cut on the left was not needed for these, I had done that for a electronic speedo I made in the past. But the otherr brown areas are needed to remove some ribs for clearance.

Mounted in the dash, fresh coat of flat black paint on the trim

Nice set up. What did the BIM unit cost?

BIM unit was $95.

I like those! What is the part number and price? All I have seen are the blue background ones. Do they come with all the senders?

 

[samckitt]

It's a custom set, I worked with their graphics designer to get these made I have had hem for over a year, got them on dale and paid for the custom face. I forget what I paid, heard that custom set is like $1500, I didn't pay that

 

[samckitt]

oh, it comes with sending units, but the extra module I bought allows it to use the signals from the sensors in he LS engine

I wish they offered them that way, not a more expensive option. They look close to factory gauges. That is what I'm looking for.

I like the older style better and wanted a more modern gauge that still looked like OEM design.

Me too! Right now I don't have any gauges, just idiot lights. I have a boost gauge I put on but not mounted. I plan to run a modern engine eventually with a electronic trany, so I will need to change the gauges eventually. If I could buy a set up like yours for like 700 bucks I probably would!
