Dakota Digital

I e-mailed Dakota Digital about making a gage cluster for out trucks like they do for many other classic trucks, that fits behind the factory bezel, etc. I'm not huge on digital gages but hey atleast then you could have your speedo that goes over 100mph in the center, your alt/temp/oil pressure/fuel gage on the left (all four gages in the left square) and then the tach oh the right. That'd be nice.
How many people would purchase a cluster like that if it was available?

I would be interested if its not to far out of my reach. With the Vibration of the Cummins I dont think the factory gauges are going to hold up. Digital would be the way to go.

looks like the average digital gauge system is between $500-$600.

Ouch..spendy, but it would be nice to have a professional looking alternative for the gauges.

I would. $500-600 is not spendy for a complete gauge package. Hell a full outfit of normal gauges is a couple of 100 bucks!
