If you're looking to upgrade your dash, the Dakota Digital MHX gauge kits are worth checking out. I've been using the MHX-1050 5-gauge round kit, and it’s been a game changer in my ride. It comes with a speedometer that also features a digital tachometer, so you can keep an eye on both your speed and RPM without cluttering your dashboard. The oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and volts gauges round out the set, giving you a solid overview of your engine’s health.

Now, if you need a little extra, the MHX-1060 6-gauge kit adds a dedicated tachometer to the mix. Both kits are designed with dimensions that fit snugly into standard cutouts: the speedometer and tachometer need a 3-3/8" cutout, while the rest fit into 2-1/16". Just a heads up, these gauges are sold as complete kits, so you can’t snag them individually.

When it comes to specs, these analog gauges are no joke. The speedometer measures from 0 to 160 MPH (or 0-255 km/h if you prefer metric), while the tach goes up to 8,000 RPM. The oil pressure gauge will keep you informed from 0 to 80 psi, and the water temperature gauge is good for anything between 100 to 260°F (or 40-120°C if you’re metric-minded). The fuel level gauge shows you everything from empty to full, and the voltmeter keeps track of your electrical system from 9 to 17 VDC.

One of my favorite features is the backlit technology. The LED lighting behind the gauge face is bright and precise, making it easy to read at a glance, day or night. Whether you're cruising down the highway or tackling a back road, you’ll always know what's going on with your vehicle.

The digital message center is packed with useful info, like a one-time settable odometer that can reach a million miles, dual trip meters, and even a clock. If you're into performance, the 0-60 timer and quarter-mile tracking are pretty cool features to have at your fingertips. Plus, the auto-contrasting LCD display ensures you can see everything clearly, even in bright sunlight.

Built-in indicators for turn signals, high beams, check engine, and more keep everything organized. Just keep in mind that not all OEM indicator functions will be replaced, but you can repurpose unused indicators if needed.

The kit includes all the necessary sensors—like a 1/8" NPT water temperature sensor and an oil pressure sensor—along with bushings for different thread sizes. The cable-driven speed sensor replaces GM-style speedometer cables and comes with a 10 ft harness. If you need to relocate the pulse generator for clearance, there's an optional part available.

Calibration is a breeze with the included push buttons. You just mount them where they're easy to reach, and they let you set up your speedometer, cylinder count, and fuel level gauge. Once you're set up, those same buttons give you access to all the info in the digital message center.

Overall, the Dakota Digital MHX gauge kits bring a nice blend of style and functionality to your dashboard. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a daily driver, these gauges will keep you informed and looking good while you’re at it.
