I love that you went with this instead of a cheap looking LCD screen, this is so much more retro and fits the look of the truck

i've been watching you since I was in middle school well over 10 years ago. I remember your families dealership and the few cars you guys would have at the house. Love all your work and dedication. Awesome guy right here.
That dash panel is perfect, it looks so factory yet it’s so up to date. I think John Ross would be impressed too hehe. Such a good series to watch, thank you
I respect Dakota digital gauges but for me I like the visual of a sweeping needle.

This is very interesting!! I'd love to learn more about wiring equipment in a car! Good stuff!!
Before you put regular coolant in there you should check out Evan's replacement coolant it's oil-based and on average runs 20°F cooler then using water. It has a much higher boiling point so your liquid will stay a liquid and not a gas, plus you won't have any corrosion inside the radiator, engine block, or heater core. 👌🏼

My early C4 Corvette has the full digital cluster so I absolutely can relate! I love the 80s charm of the digital gauges. Specifically wanted a early 4 Speed rather than the late 90s C4s which were relatively modernized

COOL Old School Meets New School! Dakota Digital Instrument Cluster Install! S10 Restomod Ep.11
The digital cluster looks good like you said it has that older school look to it It reminds me of the Buicks of the late '80s
Totally reminiscent of the 85-86 olds digital dash. Really cool!
I’m just finishing a Dakota Digital cluster Install in my 85 Ford.
Such a cool setup, Kyle! Keep up the good work!
Good job! Going to be a seriously cool machine, when all done. Nice attention to detail. JT: Orlando, FLA
Great job as always!
Well done friend
I really like the 90s 4 door blazers of the s10 platform. It was before every SUV became a lame crossover.
This is one of the only channels my mom doesn't mind me watch.
Looking a little mountain manish now!!!👍👍👍
I thought the dakota set came with LED displays, but to my surprise they are VFD too. Very nice!!!
16:13 my cat freaked out at that noise
That is sooooooo cool.
nice work
beautiful
Nice what an upgrade with a retro sort of look. I'm actually wanting Dakota digital cluster for 1988 Silverado.

Kyle, I was admiring the engine bay shot in this video and it reminded me. I’m working on my ac on my 93 Sonoma. Where did you find ac lines for your truck? I see what appears to be the factory style accumulator. I cannot find the ac line that runs from the accumulator to the condenser and it’s the only thing holding up my project. Any info is greatly appreciated
Good job.. wow great find on those manuals..keep up the good work..I like that digital display..it is nice..

So fascinating! Looking forward to the final functioning of the instrument cluster. What's your thought on haynes manuals. Did you give them a shot ? I mean sure, nothing replaces factory manuals, but should you not find factory manuals, are Hayne's manuals a good option ? Looking forward to see this project shape up Kyle! Take care, stay safe. Cheers!

I do like the update from the analog gauges, But it would be cool to see then come out with a LCD screen like what is found in modern cars. The digital dash is a bit 1980's alarm clockish. But cool project nonetheless.

Where did you wire the switch to go though all the different setting of the dash? I'm trying to setup mine that was in the truck when I bought it
You should put in one of those seat filters from Chrisfix.
Where are you finding the electrical books? I’m having so many problems with my 92 4x4 s10. Any idea on why my digital cluster mileage glitches and jumps around constantly?
That's a really Neat looking digital speedometer makes the truck look more sportier 👍, oh is the Nissan 240SX still Running just wondering ?
So what are your plans for ABS? Are you going to delete it, keep the factory rear wheel system, or do a 4 wheel conversion? Also since you deleted cruise control it would maybe look better to get a throttle bracket off a truck that didn't have it. It looks a little silly having a hole in the bracket that you'll never use.

legostar55 Of course I can get a different throttle cable bracket, that’s not a big deal, I just don’t feel like changing it up right now when I already had a good bracket ready to use. I’m deleting ABS and installing upgraded four wheel discs. I’ll do a video on the brakes.
I am about to put a Dakota digital dash in my 91S 10 on a difficulty scale what would you rate it between one being very easy and 10 being very hard
Awesome set up, my only gripe is that it would of been better if the company sold it already assemble and you simply just plug it in

I remember when Dakota Digital was introduced...… looks too vintage in my opinion when compared to modern LCD instrument clusters. Hell, the Digital "Star Wars" Dash in the 84-89 Corvette at least had multiple colors.
Can you make a video on a 1968 Camaro plz? Trying to find a tour on KZread and just can not find any

TheMasoBamba🔥 I should have some older tours already on the channel from years ago but I can’t remember the years, maybe 1967 or 1969. At this moment, I don’t have any avenue to do classic car videos unfortunately ☹️
Next time you need Gauges contact New Vintage USA...much better style and cost around the same...warranty is better than Dakota's 2 yr or limited lifetime warranty...Just saying
Hey Kyle, I've seen a lot of 12 inch LCD digital screen instrument cluster displays for sale on Alli-express, would installing them be similar to installing the instrument cluster in this video?
Hey Kyle! What made you go with a Carb Setup instead of an EFI Setup? I’m sorry if you have answered that question in a previous video but I was just curious :(
I have a question that I can’t find an answer to can someone put a digital cluster in a manual 89 Chevy 1500
They have an OEM digital that was an option
