- Installed a set of Dakota Digital VHX series gauges from Summit Racing in my 1986 K10, and documented how simple it really is. Be sure to subscribe to stay up to date on the K10 and Duramax content!!
Your truck is nuts man ,lol. I could never afford this. Thumbs up.
Thanks dude!
Which wire did you use for the tach? 2000 5.3 swapped 86 here too.
Dude! Everybody knows that KPH and MPH are 1:1…just make sure you tell the RCMP that they need to get with the times and recalibrate their radar!
I know it's been a couple of years, but, I'm installing the exact setup in a 77. What a/c hoses did you use? Or did you have to make your own?
What seats are those? I dont see a video on your page for that seat
What wire did you connect to the module to get the cluster lights to come on? The tail light wire or the headlight switch?
It was a wire off of the headlight switch, from factory the cluster has a wire in its plug that signals the backlighting to turn on, so it’s that wire. Has 0V when lights off, 12V when switch is pulled out in both 1st and 2nd positions
Hey question, when you were wiring the turn signal pigtails, what “power and ground” did you wire them to? So you completely avoided the control box?
There’s a left wire and a right wire from the factory cluster plug that gets cut off and can either be wired into the box for the cluster arrows to light, or don’t hook it up to the box and instead wire to the two wire pigtails for the lower signal lamps
@@bradenrein so you just wired both of the pigtail wires to that one wire? Or the white/green one to that factory wire, and the white/black to a ground?
White and green on left pigtail goes to left signal. White and green on right pigtail goes to right signal. White and black from both get tied together and grounded
Smoothly done 👍👍
Keep it up 😎
Does it fit on High Sierra 2500 1981.. vortec 5.7 swapped ?
and how can I order it ?
It should fit perfectly in an 81 yep, mine was ordered from summit racing, but there’s many different distributors for Dakota Digital
Do you have pictures of what each wire from the cluster plug is? Such as colored wires that are labeled, would appreciate it for a build that im stuck on, thank you in advance!
Are the signal indicators supposed to be lit like that? I wired my signals the same way you did but I feel like they shouldn't be lit up like that just because you turn the lights on.
Braden, please, tell me if your engine is diesel or not. If yes, how did you connect the tachometer? Thank you.
Nope mine is a 5.3 gas engine, the PCM has an output wire that directly goes to the Dakota Digital module tach input
@@bradenrein Thank you, Braden.
Did your temp sender screw into the adapter all the way til both hexes were touching? I have mine tight but there is a gap and wondering if thats how its supposed to be? On Dakota Digital video it looks like they are touching.
I put Teflon tape on mine and tightened until tight by feel. If it leaks, it needs to be tighter
Thats not what I meant.
Oh my bad, could you rephrase the question?
Thanks for the videos my friend just have a question about your fuel sending unit.. it give you any trouble. Because I can get mine to work at all my gauge doesn’t move I try everything check all my wiring and everything if you have any info you can help me how I would appreciate it so much thank you
Mine have been great! Make sure you have a solid ground, I know that’s a common issue
Thank you man have a wonderful day
you have audio missin in the vidoe
What size belt did you use? I recently got the vintage air AC system but I don’t know what size belt to get for it now
Dirty dingo lists the belt part number you need in their instructions, I’m surprised vintage air wouldn’t. You can always measure the route with string and then there’s a chart you can google that will give you all the measurements for gates belts and part numbers to order it
I'm sure you got it by now, but for anyone else that comes across this looking for help, for a truck 5.3, the Gates part number is K061115.
Hey, did you have any problems with your wiper blade switch?
Haven’t even tested it out yet honestly!
When you did this where did you find the wiring diagram for what each color was?
Honestly can’t remember. Either Haynes Manual or google
No audio
Can I have the link to those gages
What engine is installed what was removed???
5.3L Vortec from a 2005 Chevy Avalanche
Do you have the part number for that oil pressure adapter piece?
I don’t have the exact part number, but here’s a link to a similar one. Mine was purchased off amazon
www.amazon.ca/Pressure-Sensor-Adapter-Port-Dual/dp/B01IO4PRJW/ref=mp_s_a_1_43?dchild=1&keywords=ls+swap+oil+adapter&qid=1602278726&sr=8-43
Do the gauges come with the control box?
Yes they do
How did the dash cost
Somewhere around $300 I believe
Where are these gauges made please don't tell me china???
Dakota Digital, built in the USA
@@bradenrein glad to hear that,thanks.
