- Dakota digital gauges installed in my 1988 caprice. I’m putting these in in prep for LS Fest west 2024. I’ve never loved the factory gauges, and Dakota Digital makes an awesome product which is going to solve all my gauge problems.
Ever since I LS swapped my odometer/speedometer has not worked. These gauges have that fixed, and provide a much better experience in the car. I installed the rtx series gauges.

I am thinking about swapping my OG to a dakota digital. Can I use the control box that comes with it to control everything? Or will I need to run wires to other parts of the car. Such as the oil sending unit, distributor for tach etc? Thanks in advance and great video!
@@PrimeG2 what engine do you have?
If running a carburetor you have to run more wires.
The control box has an input for each gauge. You'll have to rujnwires and install the sensors that come with the kit if you aren't running a Holley or other EFI ECU system.
I got the Holley adapter because it reduced the wiring I needed, since the Holley already gets most of that data from it's sensors.
@@LugNutLang I have the original 305 carbureted.
@@PrimeG2 you would have to add sensors then.
The Dakota digital instruction manual is pretty good. you can find it on the product listing in their website
@@LugNutLang I finished mine this morning and it is worth every penny. I will be honest, it was a nightmare. Only because I am such a neat freak and wires were all over the place. I crimped my wires and pinned them down into my factory harness, there was no way that I was going to cut and destroy it. I just felt it would mess something up in doing so. But reading everything helped me. It is straight to the point. I have the VHX for the 1984 Caprice. I don't have the holley efi, so I had to run everything from the control box to my sensors and the factory harness. Works amazing and looks way better. Your video gave me hope!
@@PrimeG2 I bet it was a lot more work to use all the individual sensors!!!!
Glad you got through it! Gauges are one of the things that really make the driving experience!
Thanks for sharing! Hope to see it someday. What part of the country are you in?
Which wire you use for the headlight ?(dim)
There is a wire which goes to the or gauge cluster to turn on the cluster lights. I think it was gray.
You went from explaining the wires and what they were to getting hung up a bit on a couple wires than moves immediately to your holley set up you left me confused buddy
Definitely didn’t mean to leave anybody confused.
The Dakota digital control box gets most of the information from my Holley Ecu.
That keeps me from needing to run a second set of sensors just for the gauges.
If you have any specific questions let me know
