Another great vid. Kit looks so much nicer than the NVU stuff for these trucks. No surprise this is the go to gauge kit.

I think I like the label idea! I guess mainly if anyone in the future!?...happens to end up in the dash? It would make things that much easier I guess!?...keep the momentum going with the videos man!, really looking forward to some pretty cool projects possibly bigger? Really liked the front suspension installation! 🇺🇲💯✌

Thank you! The labels might stay but I kind of enjoy the heat shrink idea also, we have some cool stuff in the cue for sure

Good morning from Cape Cod 🐟 you do some fine detailed work Mike. I've got all my notifications on but just now realized you had a new video. Freaking KZfaq 😂 I'm wondering how that gear indicator works out in New England slush and snow 🤔 anyway keep up the great work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

@HowesItDoinGarage 11 ай бұрын

I’m going to guess and say that if you have a automobile with a GSS-3000 installed in it that you shouldn’t be driving it in the slushy snow lol

For running the tach wire, is it just a single wire from the distributor or how does that work? I’m going to have to do that I’m pretty sure

@HowesItDoinGarage 9 ай бұрын

Yes you can run a wire right from the tach output of the distributor or cdi box right into the Dakota box

is this mostly for LS swaps or any old car with a bunch of defunct original gauges?

What wires do you use out of the interment cluster plug on the 85 chevy

@HowesItDoinGarage 8 ай бұрын

I generally use every wire I can, I had to add a constant power, tach and ground wire for this one
