If you're looking to add some serious tech to your ride, the Dakota Digital Series III instrument system is where it's at. This isn't just any gauge set; it's packed with features that really make a difference when you're behind the wheel. The high-brightness vacuum fluorescent displays are not only easy to read, but they're built to last—no more worrying about dimming or failure over time. Plus, they look pretty slick with the new show-quality triple chrome plated bezel that gives your dashboard a nice touch of class.

Now, let's talk dimensions. The gauges are 4.5 inches in diameter, and the bezel comes in at 4.75 inches, fitting nicely into most custom setups. You get a full suite of digital gauges that cover everything from speed and RPM to oil pressure and water temperature. The speedometer is impressive, showing speeds from 0 to 255 MPH (and there’s a metric version if you need it), while the tachometer goes all the way up to 17,500 RPM. That’s some serious range for those who like to push their engines!

Oil pressure? You’re covered from 0 to 99 psi. Water temp? It handles up to 300°F (or 150°C if you’re metric-minded). Fuel level is straightforward too, showing from 0 to 99%, so you won’t be caught off guard on that long drive. And let’s not forget the voltmeter that keeps an eye on your electrical system, covering 8 to 17 VDC.

The digital message centers are a game changer. They show your odometer (which you can set to a million miles—no kidding) and have dual trip meters. Performance metrics are included too, with timers for 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile times. It’s like having a little performance coach right in your dashboard. You can even keep an eye on high-speed recalls and high RPM recalls, which is great for tracking your runs.

Built-in indicators let you know what’s going on under the hood. You’ll see alerts for turn signals, high beams, check engine, parking brake, and even cruise control if your ride is equipped. Just a heads up, not all OEM indicator functions will be replaced, so if you want more indicators, you might need to get creative with repurposing some of the unused ones.

What’s in the box? You get all the necessary sensors: a water temperature sensor with a 10 ft harness, an oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces GM-style speedometer cables. If you need to relocate the pulse generator, there’s a part available for that. And don’t worry about fittings; the kit includes bushings for different sizes to make installation a breeze.

Calibration is straightforward too. Just mount the included push buttons in a spot that’s easy to reach, and you’re all set. These buttons let you calibrate your speedometer, set cylinder counts, and dive into the digital message centers for all that extra info.

In short, the Dakota Digital MFD3-1004-T 6 Gauge System is a solid upgrade for any custom build. It balances style with functionality, making sure you’ve got everything you need right in front of you as you hit the road.
