Dakota Digital Instrumentation.
Has anyone ever installed a Dakota Digital dash instrument unit? I was thinking of upgrading the dash in my 78 P/U. I'm interested on how complicated the installation is. Many thanks!

Re: Dakota Digital Instrumentation.
depends on your skill level, there are about 20 wires that need to be spliced into the "brain"

Re: Dakota Digital Instrumentation.
You won't need to use all 20 or so wires...
You'll need: Left / Right turn Water Temp Oil Pressure Fuel Power Ground Speedo RPM .. a few others. I just installed one last week on my '87. Pretty simple  Kenny
