I purchased a cluster for my 1995 Mustang GT. Looks great now that I finally have it all working correctly. Has been a hurtle due to lack of good information. Dakota should and could easily make specific installation instructions for what they are selling. And not be so vague. I have been a licensed mechanic for over 40 years and if you follow what they have and are able to read between the lines you will do well. Found out from Dakota Tech that I could have kept and used my original oil and temp senders. That would have saved some steps. The high beam light kept flashing so I had to get a bypass plug from Ford for my day time running light module or my brake light would be on as you can’t just unplug it. So now no day time running lights no big deal. What I did find annoying was I used the tech line twice to try and figure out why my tach did not work correctly. They said I needed a msd 8618 pick up to do it. Wrong. Bought one and it did not work and when I called msd they said no it is not designed for my system. They said to just run my tach off the ground side of the coil. Did that now it works great. It is a good product however the installation side of the company needs to be addresses. Then they would have one awesome product. Thanks Dave from Canada 🇨🇦
RTX68CCACX was purchased for a 1968 Camaro SS I spent a lot of money on the gauge set and an all new wire harness with factory correct connectors. Dakota dose not have a plug to plug into the stock gauge cluster plug. So I was told to cut into my new wire harness. I do not want to do that. It is lowering the integrity of my new harness and then leaves me with no good way to go back if I want to.
Dash cluster background color does not match advertised pic. Called Dakota digital after purchasing a dash cluster that was supposed to be silver close to white, something that reflected the picture they have online, only to receive a dark gray cluster. Call Dakota digital. They stated if I wanted something more to the color on the picture that would cost two more hundred dollars for a white or silver cluster. Cluster color is a dark gray.
Handlebar mounted digital gauges are difficult if not impossible to read in daylight. Left message for Dakota Digital Customer Service. Response was quick...however I was told that the only fix was in the configuration settings. However this did not fix the problem. Dakota Representative was adamant that it was not a "product issue". This is a known issue...it is all over the internet. Seems Dakota is trying to deflect the issue as not being due to the design of the product....huh? Your gauges should be readable in all circumstances...its is a safety and legal liability issue. If I look down to see my gauges and cant the least of my problems would be receiving a speeding ticket the worst...well.... You would think Dakota Digital would work on a solution or at least offer some sort of quick fix... the configuration settings are useless in this instance. I cannot in good conscience recommend Dakota Digital....beautiful gauges, but almost worthless in daylight.
Incredibly courteous and professional staff. I was treated as if I was a 'Platinum Plus' customer by TJ. He let me know every step of the way from our initial conversation of a diagnostic on my gauge to completing and shipping it within the two day timeframe he had indicated.
This company picks favorites, and let’s family work with family and if you aren’t apart of that family then you will get treated like crap. No matter how much efforts you put in with them. The management sucks. There was only one good supervisor in the pcb area (soldering) she was amazing/ professional/kind & cared about her employees in her area. but other than that no one knows what they are doing. The lady in HR acts more like a friend to people then actual HR so once again sides always are being taken. They enforce all these new rules that no one follows because they don’t speak up when they see someone going against it. It’s all about drama and picking sides with that place. I’d consider your options before going to work for a company like that. They will drain you mentally. Bully’s all around and not a good work environment. Pretty sure they aren’t following any rules when it comes to osha. The supervisors have no clue how to be a MATURE/ PROFESSIONAL supervisor. If you like working with people who do bare minimum this is the place for you! Slack workers slack supervisors. Slack management that do not care about their hard working employees. Instead would rather keep bare minimum workers because they are family! They will turn on you so fast no matter what you have done for them as a company. Ungrateful and absolutely one of the worst jobs I have ever had.
I can't thank Tim more for helping me out with replacing the dimmer switch that I bought broke . Even though I still fill it should be part of the kit . Tim understood stood and was understanding about the first one breaking and got me a replacement pretty quickly and what a difference from the first switch to the second one he sent me .
I have had a lot of motorcycles in my lifetime. I have also done a lot of upgrades to my motorcycles. But getting Dakota Digital Guages for my 2008 Thunder Mountain Keystone Chopper yesterday was the most excited I have ever been about a single upgrade!It's literally like having a dog for years and then suddenly the dog can talk to you!With these gauges I have cylinder head temp, oil pressure, fuel percentage remaining, miles to empty, hours the motorcycle has run, RPM, speed, speed in Kilometers per Hour, 0 to 60 times, 1/4 mile times, top speed, highest RPM, clock, gear position, 2 trip meters, odometer and probably more that I can't think of right now!All in a stylish single digital gauge. RPM also shows as LED around the rim as I change to other screens. This whole set up is absolutely amazing!If you're considering new gauges, speedometer, etc buy Dakota Digital for your ride!Shout out to CA Harley for hooking me up!MavEryck Redondo Beach, CA
