Just curious what you guys did go your speedometer especially if you kept factory gauges...contemplating going with VHX or Intellitronix setup. I'd like to stay with clean factory restored gauges if possible.

Well its not just that easy. You also need to re-pin the trucks connector for the cluster before you just plug it in.
