I'M SO STOKED ON THIS INSTALL for the AutoEdits Ford Mustang build... Dakota Digital VHX Instruments going in for the win!
I was really worried about how to update the gauge cluster in the Mustang to offer more than just fuel and speed and a few warning lights. So I was looking at LCD panels and making a plate to mount independent gauges and the work and cost involved was overwhelming.
And then after doing a preview video on the Painless Performance Products wiring harness going in the Large Marge soon... a few of my friends posted comments suggesting that I look at the Dakota Digital VHX products and WOW I was so impressed and happy for that discovery!
With the VHX instruments, I'll get all of the data I need and way more and the whole system bolts into the stock gauge cluster... it's amazing!
Here's the link to the Dakota Digital site that I ordered them from:
www.dakotadigit...
Plus the information straight from there...
Thanks to several high-profile builds, the 1971-73 Mustang is gaining ground in the hot rodding community. Put yourself on top of the wave with fresh new instrumentation fitted to the stock gauge bezel and housing. Six analog gauge readouts plus an analog clock play host to dual LCD message centers capable of displaying plenty of information. Solid-state sensors are supplied, making this system an obvious choice when upgrading the drivetrain!
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

JASON!!! When are you going to get back to this beast!! I want to see this car run a track!!

@67Stang Год назад

Just got a set of these for my 67 Mustang. Excited to get them installed. Wondering what you think about them know that you have had them for a while?

@AutoEdits Год назад

This is an amazing upgrade! I loved everything about. Made driving the car even more fun.

@wolfthornhawkridge5705 4 года назад

Did you have to run a ground wire for the fuel sending unit from the brain? I am installing the VHX in a 65 mustang and haven’t found anything on the Fuel - since the stock sender only has the one wire and no mounting screws. Thanks

@AutoEdits 4 года назад

The stock sender on this vehicle has 2 wires but from what I'm reading in the instructions... your should be able to run a chassis ground to the brain. Worst case is you do a manual calibration on the sender.

@CharlesFlahertyB 5 лет назад

The tach should always be on the right or center. I don't understand why so many cars have the tach on the left. Speaking of which, does the tack have red line?

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

Yes you can program that... I'll show you in another video

@apkathe 5 лет назад

Autoedit video how can I miss it! 👍🏻

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

It literally just went up!!!!!

@PaganWizard 3 года назад

I'm getting this instrument cluster, but with the carbon fiber background.

@AutoEdits 3 года назад

Nice choice... I really like the looks of that one!

@dinkydotzero 5 лет назад

Its a lot like the RacePak IQ3 system I used in my Jeep, All I had to do was make an aluminum dash plate and mount the Racepak and ran the data logger. it was the easiest way I could think of putting an LS in my jeep, But I like this stuff better

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

I seriously considered RacePak as well but at only $800 bucks for this setup it made it easy to go with the Dakota Digital!!! Lol

@lupeibarra1199 5 лет назад

I have the exact same old cluster, do you happen to have a part number or a kit number that i can look up? Thanks!

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

There’s a link to this exact part in the video description!

@adubbelde1 Год назад

I'm building a 37 CHev PU with a GM GEN V LT1. I have the Dakota Digital HDX gauges. I just had to plug it into my OBD. port and all the gauges populated.

@AutoEdits Год назад

I really loved these gauges.

@adubbelde1 Год назад

@@AutoEdits I love them as well. I have the PAC2800 fan controller as well. The GEN V computer only has a PWM output for fan. So the Dakota Digital controller monitors engine temp and turns the fans on and off at your preset temperatures and will shut them off based on vehicle speed

@tomlittle5974 5 лет назад

Very good video. Love the changes you have made to the Mustang. The Dakota Gage packs looks fantastic. I like it when a builder brings a classic style to current or future technoligy but retain the looks of the classic. Keep up the great work and the great videos. I watch them all.

you mentioned selling your cobalt gauges before.. I'm ready to buy some.. you still want to sell yours? or should i just purchase new ones?? i'd much rather save some money..

@6at32off 4 года назад

Oh I'm so getting those for my 69 :)

@AutoEdits 4 года назад

You will be thrilled with them... so cool to jump behind the wheel every single time!

@MoloneLabe 5 лет назад

$1200 dollars for gauges!?!? Was looking for them for my 87 blazer.

@ClintonC1991 4 года назад

You could also build your own with a raspberry pi. Pick up a pi and a 7 inch touch screen. Reads the data through obd2 port. I was going to do the dakota digital, but I don't have dakota digital money.

@asifkhan-cd9dy 3 года назад

Will it hook up with FiTech system?

@AutoEdits 3 года назад

Yes, there's an interface option for that.

@jctcremers 5 лет назад

In one of your previous clips you were asking about where to put the start button. In my 93' GT I have the fuel map selector switch in the armrest. I am thinking of moving the start button there as well. Makes a car thief scratch their head a little when they can't find the ignition. Same with my friends. LOL

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

Like this suggestion!!!!

@blkngwinn 5 лет назад

Looks good but instead of keeping the stock housing white, I would paint it a matte or flat black so as to not have so much glare at night especially if you keep the brightness turned all the way up.

@brettguy5285 5 лет назад

Hell yeah! Looks great!

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

I'm getting close to putting some work in on Marge soon!

@qasimalsaidi 5 лет назад

That looked so good. Btw, the t-shirt that u showed us previously does not look good because of the square background. U should also start creating catch phrases that are unique to u, so u can sell 'em as t-shirts etc.

@rwcasto 5 лет назад

AWESOME! Been following yah for a while- ( the maverick/viper build- that was a cool looking build) I just installed this system in my 73 Nova- best cluster I have ever installed- ease of installation al the way down to the cool features. IT will alert yah in the digital part of the display for low fuel, voltage etc. Love the build man! Excited to see yah get LM running and driving!

@troyberg65 5 лет назад

wow those are very nice. Makes me consider going that route in the long run. Kinda would prefer if the clock spot was a gauge. very nice indeed; and the analog style gauges look amazing.

@ghma298 5 лет назад

Excellent Jason. Looking at the HDX and Holley Terminator EFI for mine next year. Keep up the great work, very inspirational and gets me excited looking at all the upgrades you are doing. Lots of cool choices. The performance increases and better drivability using modern tech is just awesome. Loving it!

You may have changed my mind of going with auto meter to Dakota digital for my 67 mustang project!

Do it!!!! So many options and you can see how amazing they look and just how easy to install. Wish I knew about this last year... would've pulled the trigger way sooner!

awesome

@callofgeorge 5 лет назад

these look pretty sick.. if only they had plenty more gauge options to match.. i'll probably go with some autometer cobalts due to boost, a/f ratio, oil temp, etc..

@AutoEdits 5 лет назад

Do whatever you want but these cover all those readings and are way easier to install... I have a Cobalt tach and speedo I'll sell you cheap.

@@AutoEdits send me some pics if you don't mind and let me know what you want for them. electric/programmable speedo? i'll buy them off you as long as they're in good working order and aren't scratched up. trying to save some money where i can to get mine back together again. oh, and i did speak with the guys at Dakota Digital. they do offer additional analog gauges, but he said it'd run about $250 a piece to add them due to them making them to order. that's for their HDX line of gauges.. they are awesome looking gauges.. i just can't afford that setup right now.

AutoEdits still a good video even though I watched it with 1 eye open st times lol. The Dacota digital kit makes it look easy. If I was ever to take a project on like this I’d definitely use them. Also so glad you went blue instead of I think it was red.
