    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! 🇺🇲💯✌

    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 UA-cam 😂 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

      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

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