One of the better videos on this! Those boring wires you didn’t want to bore us with are the most important parts of the installation. He still did a real good job of going back and letting you know the colors and where and what they hook to! Thanks cool video! 👍🏻
I’m in the process of doing a ss dash swap with Dakota digital RTX in my 71 Chevelle sweep style original dash & this video seems to have all the information I need 💯💪🏽 thanks Goosse you’re the man !!
I am installing the exact VHX setup in my 70 Chevelle. Love the video. Question tho....... on the original harness there is a gray & black wire going to a bulb that starts a line of bulbs on the original cluster. In the video you don't speak about this. Do I combine the gray with the Dim wire to the Dakota Digital box and ground the black? Im a little lost on this. Thanks
Awesome video. I am wiring a 69 Vette and starting with a new American autowire harness, vintage air, fuel injection, dakota digital, power window conversion, heated seats, electric fan etc. So my wiring is a job and a half and very confusing. Your video helped with some of that and am truly thankful. I was about to pull my hair out. LOL - Terry
Happy holidays Goose, I’m swapping my original SS dash gauges in my 72 with a DD VHX system and classic auto air system. I’m fairly lost at this point with the wiring, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Yo Goose I figured it out made sure all the cat 5 cable are connected one question to set the third gauge which know is saying SETUP, is there supposed to be a third switch for the third gauge please if you can make a complete video of how each gauge on a SS style cluster should be set up switches and how to move indicator to show what you wait to show please I think I'm missing one step!
Good morning having problems with the Dakota Digital oil gauge not reading correctly I checked the ground and even add a ground still reading correctly any advice?
@@goosseperformance1444 for reason the oil gauge on cold start reads 21 psi then give it a little gas then goes up to 40psi and stays until the engine gets hot then it’s around 35 or 36 psi I have the HDX DD
I have a 70 Velle and the original lighting on the dash is dim. Is the an LED option with keeping the original cluster? Dakota Digital are super nice but pricey. Enjoy your videos, keep wrenching!
I have the vhx for my 65 mustang, everything it hooked up but there the gauge isn't working when connected. Is there away to check the control box to make sure its working properly?.
I didn't see you wire the turn signal bulbs to use the factory style bulb on the dash (the extra 2-wire harness). I believe just wiring the turn signal wires to the box will only make the built-in bulbs on the dash light up and not the bulbs that would be in factory location, right?
@@J-RocksCustoms did you ever figure out why your turn signals wouldn’t flash? I just ran into the same problem after my install and can’t figure out what the issue is.
U sounds like u no what u doing a lot of yea I no how 2 do it guys out there but it end up looking like that hay wear r u located at I have a Dakota I need to put in

Have you ever done Dakota digital RTX with American auto wire harness on the Chevelle?
sorry not yet but more or less the same
Good work.. what wires do you to get the 4l60 transmission speed to work with the Dakota Digital?
just depends on what harness your running, look at my psi video
@@goosseperformance1444 ok preciate it keep up the good work.
@@goosseperformance1444 The Bim box Dakota Digital sells for about 90 dollars plugs into the diagnostic port is a great addition to the gauges!

you just need to check all the setting in the dd

Hey man, what’s the widest tire you could get on the rear with the 70 Velle with 18in Rims?
just depends on rear end, I'm running shorten 9 and able to get 315

you need to make sure that your settings are setup correctly
Did any of those wire's come from the ecm/ecu?
No
Bad ass wuey ..... Next tag mee on the mickey mouse work wuey
Lmao 🤣
Where did u actually run dim to? Ignition? Running lights? Or light switch? This is where I am stuck at lol
I hooked it up to one of the dark grey wires that was from the old cluster that was for dash illumination
@@goosseperformance1444 ok thank you
What color wire is the voltage wire on the original harness??
Where does that wire go on new Dakota digital
always 12v is orange, ing hot is pink
Yess found rhat out today thanks for the reply ... your vidoe helped me
Hey Goosse, was this harness original to a sweep style dash? I was gonna convert my dash to SS and buy Dakota gauges.
yes it was

Correct, should be a dark blue and a light blue wire that get connected to the white leads from dd
@@goosseperformance1444 my turns won’t flash since I did my install. You have any ideas why?
Sounds like a ground issue
@@J-RocksCustoms did you ever figure out why your turn signals wouldn’t flash?
I just ran into the same problem after my install and can’t figure out what the issue is.
@@lt4camino added resistors to rear turn signal bulbs and it works now.
Can I use my stock wiring harness on my 72 elcamino with a VHX dakota digital gauges? You wouldn't happen to live in Sacramento lol ?
Yes you can
There is no way that is the car Steve meade fixed the stereo in ?!
