Fair enough.personal opinion cheaply manufactured i.e. cheap electronic components. Example I installed three different oil and fuel sending units in a 85 cj7 each time they would work for a few key cycles and stop working.example #2 k 10 blazer ls3 swap oil pressure gauge inop twice out of the box.#3 72 fj cruiser fuel gauge would not calibrate along with speedo.These are my experiences and in my buisness time is money .when a estimate is given and starts to ary because of inferior parts or come back for inoperative systems then that reflects on me and my reputation.speedway or autometer.autometer has been around for years and is a reliable tried but true company.
Thank you for your reply.
I am already "invested" since so much time has passed since I bought it.
It is the complete 70 Roadrunner dash kit.
I still expect great results, but I appreciate the input.
I saw the kit I bought on the back cover of a quarterly Classic Industries catalog, and BAM! I just had to have it! Reasons being I had taken the dash dimmer out because it was giving me problems with the dash lights either being too dim or off. I also have some occasional problems with the water temp gauge "going away" sporadically. Even thoroughly cleaned, the dimmer is inconsistent and the factory dash lights leave much to be desired. Since then I've changed out the 18 spline Hemi 833 4 speed with a Passon Performance a855 and went from the Track Pack 3.54s to 4.10s in the Dana 60.
So I expect a lot of issues will be resolved by the Dakota Digital dash, and damn! they look great!
The only downside is I really like the Autometer tachometer that fit in the (cut) modded dash lens cover which replaced my factory clock that only showed the correct time twice a day, and honesty, time of day is NOT critical to a guy who likes to race his car from time to time.
The Autometer also has an attached shift light which is GREAT.
If the Dakota Digital dash does not have a shift light "option" built in or as an add on, I am going to add a "stand alone" programmable shift light.
As noted earlier a few posts back, my Innovate Motorsports dual wideband O2 system can be displayed on the Dakota Digital dash, but I don't know what that looks like yet. I have the dual wideband O2 display gauge that comes with the system though, and I don't mind finding a place for it if that works best to convey the information that I bought it for to begin with.
