Thanks for the great video. I bought the new vintage gauges and this video is literally the perfect tutorial. Much appreciated man.
Btw: you gave me the push I needed to get started on my gauge kit in my 84 c15….thank you!
Just ordered NVU gauges for my '74 C10, and this video will be a huge help to make sure I do it right. Many thanks!
Thanks Great video got two of these kits for my trucks 40 years later all the GM gauges had failed now they look like a new dash
What about when you do an LS swap what wire will you use for the tech and speed wire?
Gauges look great! Is blue the only color of backlighting they offer or is that something you can program?
Hello, A really good video. I just received New Vintage gauges for my Gen 2 Camaro and I do have a couple of questions in regards to the turn signal indicators and high beam light. The instructions say they are invisible/deadheaded. I have look very closely at both the Speedo and Tach and for the life of me I can't see anything behind the bezel. If I apply 12v DC to the correct pinout and ground that indicator it should light up. Can I do this without damaging anything? Second question. To my knowledge I don't see where the connection is made for the brake warning light. On the tach there are 3 indicators but those appear to be used when one is using a computer/ECM such as an LS swap. Any thoughts on that? THANKS!!! P.S. I did here you say you say you saw them come on but I could not see them in this video as the camera was too far away.
Is there a way to change backlighting color?
What about the speedometer
What did you set the pulse per revolution (ppr) at on the 12v cummins?
The Dakota digital tachometer box SGI-100BT calculates it for you. You select how many cylinders, what input (alternator in this case) and then there is a calibration setting. The way I fine tune it is by driving in OD with the torque converter locked. I use an rpm calculator from tremec.com to see how many rpm's it should be running at 65 mph. I then fine tune the Dakota digital box to where the tachometer reads properly.
Any updates to the RAMCHARGER yet??
LMC has it on their site
Telling people they can win amazing vehicles is not a shameless plug.
Omg get on with it😂😂😂😂 next video...
I have tried and relooked over and can not even get the gauges to sweep nothing is working I have the backing lighting come on, my single lights are working but non of my gauges are working I checked for good ground. Any ideas?
I would call new vintage directly, they have great tech support!
Do they make it to where u can just plug in your new guages to the factory harness?
Yes
@TurtleChef8901 got a link to the part number then ...preciate it..
Is there a glow plug indicator on these?
for an 84 f250 12v swapped cummins
yes on the diesel versions
So what ended up being the issue with one of the gauges not lighting up?
Operator error: I didn't push the pigtail all the way in.
I also have NVU guages on my 75 K5 blazer, but am far from impressed with there mounting brackets.. Tons of adjustments for a dash panel used for almost 20 years that doesn't require any adjustment! It's almost impossible to have all of the guages mounted square and centered within the holes...
I love the way the guages themselves look, but the mounting piece could be made so much better.
NVU redid the bracket, if you had them a while I am sure they could send you the updated bracket.
@throttleblip1 I actually just recieved the new bracket a little while ago, and the metal tab connecting the two pieces is much better than the flimsy plastic before.. But, I still do not understand why there is so much adjustment when it is not necessary.. These trucks have used the same dashboard from 73-91.. The shims, the oversized holes, getting the guages square, etc. just makes for a pain in the rear.. Especially if you're a perfectionist.. I just believe it could be designed much better, but that's my personal opinion. I love the guages and couldn't be happier with them now that they're installed.. it was just an extremely prolonged process.. I epoxied the shims to the plastic "frame" so if I ever have to remove the guages again, I don't have to worry about them moving
Do they make one for a 1986bdodge ram d350?
They are working on one!
Actually, they are for sale now! Today I will work on putting them up on our site!
Which aftermarket dash is that? LMC?
Dashes Direct
@@hodsonmotors Is it metal on the underside? Like the factory ones were. I've been trying to find the best aftermarket dash, and even the "vinyl" ones from Classic Truck Parts of America are wavy all across the back of the dash. The underside is plastic.
@@enermaxstephens1051 yes it is. Fits great. Manufactured here in Las Vegas Nv. I've toured their facility it's awesome.
