Classic Squarebody Restoration! Factory look with modern tech! The new Dakota Digital RTX install! 

Use a label maker to mark each wire. A common font and label width will look nicer than painter's tape. Also adding two electrical buses. One for a ground, one for power.

I used the VHX from Dakota Digital and they came with some of the sensors and a speed sensor and all you need to do is calibrate and all set. For tach I was able to use the stock Cummins one and choose the 4 cylinder setting. And please lose the wire splicers now that you are wiring everything up lol ... good stuff keep up them videos coming

This is actually, pretty cool. That wiring though... good lord. lol

Haha... Your gas gauge was the only one to work, and it always shows empty. I had teal colored Dakota digitals on my teal and white 72 K5. Once my new purchase 74 K5 shows up, I am putting in my second set.

This RTX system is definitely gonna end up in my blazer ❤️

I’m digging the battery’s and switch pro in the back. So much room and beats crawling around in the dash.

Where can you get the wiring schematics from that's 1 thing I've been struggling with 👍

The light controller and the various lights they all on your Amazon link

Always love your videos. Keep going the channel will grow.

What brand is the A pilar cluster

Just got the rtx gauges for my 87 squarebody what wire on the headlight switch for the running lights do you hook up on the rtx brain

You essentially have a PLC in your truck

Very nice breakdown great job!

Lets do this. Merricks Garage!

Where did you find the pillar gauge pod? I own an 87 and need one for my truck to place three more gauges

Cool video but I’m gonna have to disagree about the wire taps. Those will cause you grief, the only question is when

Gorgeous looking setup! I love what Dakota has done with this RTX system, much better than their other spaceship looking stuff.

Hoping they have a system like that for a 1998 Suburban.

Looken great man! So awesome having such a cool beast to go on trips with the fam and create one of a kind memories.

Curious why did you choose a suburban over say a pickup like k20 or k30

Doing a '85 c20 now with dual fuel tanks....which is different than the "normal tan wire" at pin #7. On dual tanks....verify pink/black & pink/white are connected through switch valve (underside of truck on frame) amd use Pink wire at Pin 7. Hopefully, this saves someone an extra day like it took me to trace & find 😂

Wow. Looks OEM 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Where do you put signal from turbo boost in those three "boxes"?

That ROCKS!!!

Do you have cruise control?

great job bud

Very informative. Everything is covered but why are you using scotch locks? You want a clean look solder your connections.

very nice! not seeing the rock lights listed on your amazon page- do you have a brand recommendation for those? thanks!

That seems to be a problem across the automotive industry not having things looks factory, so things looks cheap and aftermarket

Awesome build... are you building and selling these suburbans for folks?

Merrick I baught the Dakota gauges for my 1969 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 and I absolutely love them!! I will most likely be getting another Dakota gauge cluster for my 1981 GMC 1Ton 4x4 also sometime very soon!! I just got done getting the suspension all set up correctly so that I didn’t have all old saggy leaf springs!! And of course I went with no one better than OFF ROAD DESIGN and Stephen Watson!! I absolutely love there stuff and when I order parts from him they no exactly what I need and have never let me down!! I did go with there front leaf springs that they make so that I would have much better flex in my 1TON!! There was a total of 8 leaf springs in the front pack that they sent me!! It definitely rides a lot better than it used to for sure!! Not as bouncy as it was before I had changed the front out!! And the rear I went with there 2”1/2” rear shackle flip kit just like I had done on my 1969 Chevy 1Ton!! I absolutely love watching your builds as I have also been doing builds of my own for the past several years also!! They just don’t build them like they used to and that is why I definitely love the old school vehicles much better than the new ones!!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy and I am definitely weighting to see what you end up working on next!!!

no heat or ac?? F THAT!

Oh before I forget, you have a TOTO system now and I think they and compatible with the after market 360 Birdeye view camera systems I think, maybe that could be a sick upgrade not only for parking but maybe rock crawling :D

This is an awesome video....!!!!!!!!

Hey Brother. Did you find those plans for the K5 seat brackets? Was waiting for you to email them to me a while back but never received them. Will you please send me those plans, sir? Would really appreciate it very much!

1500 for those gauges... hard pass
