If you’ve got a classic 1967-72 GM pickup, Blazer, or Suburban, you know that dashboard is a blank canvas just waiting for your personal touch. That’s where the Dakota Digital VHX Series comes into play. This isn’t just any instrument cluster; it’s a complete reimagining of what your gauges can do. With a seven-hole instrument bezel, you get six analog instruments that look sharp, plus a third LCD message center if you go with the PU version, or an analog clock for the PA. Talk about keeping it classic while adding some modern flair!

One of the first things you’ll notice is the upgrade to LED technology for the stock turn signals. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in visibility. The whole setup fits right into your stock or reproduction bezel, which you’ll need to grab separately. But once it’s in, you’re looking at fully lit needles, backlit faces, and an LCD message center that’s easy to read, even in bright sunlight. This is not your grandpa’s instrumentation!

What really sets the VHX Series apart are those micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors. You’ll get accuracy that you just can’t find in older systems. Plus, the display feedback is customizable, so you can tweak it to fit your style. And let’s not forget the lifetime warranty. Dakota Digital stands behind their products, and that’s a big deal in my book.

Now, let’s break down some of the specs. The speedometer goes from 0 to 160 MPH, with an optional metric version that hits 0-255 km/h. The tachometer? It’ll rev up to 8,000 RPM. Oil pressure is covered from 0 to 80 psi, while the water temperature gauge runs from 100 to 260°F (or 40 to 120°C if you’re going metric). Fuel level indicators show you everything from empty to full in quarter-tank increments, and the voltmeter operates between 9 and 17 VDC.

But that’s just scratching the surface. You also get an odometer that’s user-settable for a million miles, a dual trip meter, and even a 12-hour clock. Performance metrics include a 0-60 MPH timer and quarter-mile stats, which are super handy for those of us who like to push our rides a little. And with indicators for turn signals, high beams, check engine, and more, you won’t miss a beat.

Customization is a breeze, too. You’ve got over 30 color options to choose from for your needle, sweep, and digital display. Want to set different brightness levels for day and night? Easy! Just adjust it through the HDX setup menu, or add a rotary control for on-the-fly adjustments. And if you’re feeling creative, you can pick your own color themes or stick with one of the 12 factory presets.

All of this tech is packed into a gauge package that’s designed and built right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. So if you’re looking to upgrade your classic ride with something that combines vintage aesthetics with modern functionality, the VHX Series is worth checking out. Just keep in mind, the expected delivery time is around 12-16 weeks. But trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
