I like your version better than the Dakota Digital one. However, if installing one of these your wiring harness is completely hacked! As these cars are getting older and harnesses are getting harder to find, why not make an adapter from factory cluster connector to bare wire if the factory cluster connectors aren't being used?

@inerceptor 3 года назад

How about getting a vendor to create a plug and play harness.

@chasen432 3 года назад

Exactly my thoughts! Plus the check engine light on after all said and done. Looks nice, but a lot of tedious work to see a check engine light on.

@CR3j35_90kid 2 года назад

Yea they definitely need to up there game. People do not have the time or the ability to do this job. Make it easy for guys trying to work on these cars them selves. The harness is a hack job now. If you wanted to go make to factory you can't. I mean you can but it would be tedious as hell. There's plenty of companies out there that make a plug and play setup.

A small light bulb with jumper will need to be used on the airbag monitor (behind the AC controls) or the 90-93 airbag monitor system will sound a constant beep tone since there is no longer an airbag warning light in the cluster. Ask me how I know! ;-)

@wotblake 3 года назад

If I currently have a Fox Body 90 to 93 VHX Dakota Digital gauge cluster can I swap this one in place of it without redoing the wiring? If I can just pull the connector out of the back of my current dakota digital gauges and easily swap in this version I'd be very tempted.

@latemodelrestoration 3 года назад

Yes. This cluster will work with current VHX setups. However, our gauges are sold as complete kits and cannot be purchased separately without the wiring kit.

@wotblake 3 года назад

@@latemodelrestoration Thank you for the quick response! Sounds like my best option would be to buy a new complete retro style kit and sell my used VHX Dakota Digital gauges and the new wiring kit to a friend. Thanks again.

@kevindoyle143 3 года назад

How does the factory A9l ECU know what the coolant temperature is if you remove the factory wire and sending unit? Your fueling will be all wrong because the ECU has no input for those PID's?

@latemodelrestoration 3 года назад

Hey Kevin, the factory computer gets the ECT (engine coolant temperature) from the sensor on the heater tube assembly. The ECT in the intake manifold is for the factory cluster. Since we're removing the factory cluster, that sensor can be removed and replaced with the sender provided in the 5.0 Resto cluster kit.

@Mr_DocHolliday 2 года назад

Will this kit work on a 93 mustang that has been carb swapped with and HEI distributor and doesn't have the computer hooked up anymore? Seems like the only issue I would have is the speedometer working.

@latemodelrestoration 2 года назад

The kit was designed with fuel injection in mind. We have not tested the cluster on any vehicle applications with a carburetor set up. If you can, give us a call at 1-866-507-3786 or email us with the link below and a CCR can look into it some more for you: lmr.com/contact

You'll need butt connectors suitable for the wire gauge that you are using. As stated in the video, 18ga. A nice set of crimping pliers from the hardware store will get the job done. -Landan

@latemodelrestoration 2 года назад

Hi Anthony, this is the only design available at this time. Since we are upgrading a 80's-90's vehicle with modern technology, creating a plug-and-play system is quite difficult. This is the easiest solution to make sure all parts and components work with the gauge cluster.

Hey there! Due to the different variables and the design by Dakota Digital, this kit was not intended to be plug-and-play.

@@latemodelrestoration here's the thing. I like the idea. But alot of guys getting into the hobby aren't that mechanical inclined to begin with. There's plenty of companies out there making plug and dashes. Aim dash is one. Look at honda community for Instance. Everything they do is pretty mush plug and play. Yall should be able to make a jumper harness that's compatible with the factory dash harness. Not everyone wants to hack up their harness. Just food for thought guys.

@midnight347 Год назад

I mean this looks like the old one but way more modernized this is far better than the original old cluster its also far more accurate and your speedo won't be bouncing out of the cluster at 15-25 mph like 99% of the fox clusters do. Fox guys are so cheap omg 899 that is sooo expensive let me just hack and rig up some old shit that is nowhere near as good so I don't have to spend money lol. Yall are so spoiled back when I had foxes 20+ years ago they didn't have all these cool options and here 20 years later they do yet everyone wants to whine about the price or act like the originals are "better" idk what fantasy world you live in but these blow the stock gauges away in every aspect and are far more accurate while still looking like stock at a glance to the untrained eye.

@midnight347 Год назад

How exactly does the old cluster look better? It's the same design but it's old and shitty. I swear people just love to talk shit. Never happy with anything. Even on a cluster that is literally disgned just like the original gauges for an original look but superior in every other way got guys like you hating on them saying original "looks better" they should have done a side by side to show just how wrong you are (especially at night when the stock gauges look awful and need all kinds of lighting mods to be half presentable).
