Classic Mustang Gauge Transformation! Installing Dakota Digital VHX Instruments

[@andrewdavis6917]

Love those gauges, your work on Large Marge is fantastic

[@AutoEdits]

Many thanks!

[@slowdaze]

LARGE MARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for how excited you are Jason!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! This car almost beat me but I think we are gonna make it.

[@tomlittle5974]

Very good video. Love the changes you have made to the Mustang. The Dakota Gage packs looks fantastic. I like it when a builder brings a classic style to current or future technoligy but retain the looks of the classic. Keep up the great work and the great videos. I watch them all.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!!!!

[@aaroncostello2984]

Always love it when you put up a new vlog on one of your vehicles.... great enthusiasm you have about them all.... looking forward to more.... keep up the great work.

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@jctcremers]

In one of your previous clips you were asking about where to put the start button. In my 93' GT I have the fuel map selector switch in the armrest. I am thinking of moving the start button there as well. Makes a car thief scratch their head a little when they can't find the ignition. Same with my friends. LOL

[@AutoEdits]

Like this suggestion!!!!

[@alexgoodwin9965]

Blue and black looks so sweet!!!

[@elijahhakobian8217]

I look forward to all your videos! I've been watching since you put 37s on the JK without a lift!

[@ghma298]

Excellent Jason. Looking at the HDX and Holley Terminator EFI for mine next year. Keep up the great work, very inspirational and gets me excited looking at all the upgrades you are doing. Lots of cool choices. The performance increases and better drivability using modern tech is just awesome. Loving it!

[@NotICON]

Im glad that you kept the retro look but still got some modern looking gages for the instrument panel. It looks really good.

[@blakebeckywahls7585]

So ready for another Large Marge episode. Hope you are doing well. I have enjoyed the other vids but love me some Marge.

[@AutoEdits]

I'm getting close to putting some work in on Marge soon!

[@joepawling4735]

JASON!!! When are you going to get back to this beast!! I want to see this car run a track!!

[@jonathanmoore7472]

He sold it from what I understand

[@joepawling4735]

@ I have a ‘73 convertible 351C, fmx 3 speed tranny, 3.55 gears. 600lbs 1” lowered springs, with oversized sway bars front and rear. I need a fourth or fifth gear with the higher 3.55 gears. I would love to put a 5-speed manual Tremec and Dakota gauges with TCP front coil over and quadralink rear setup. Thumbnail is my car

[@ortiz73caify]

Awesome gages and great updates. I would definitely do this if I had an older car.

[@veganoverlander]

Awesome video. I like it very much when you are so excited about this item. Some peaople can`t show this anymore that they are so happy with something. Very contagious 😂

[@travislightfoot7743]

I needed to see this video. My cj7 needs some new instruments and i think this will be the place that i will go to for them, thank you for posting all of these videos

[@AutoEdits]

Yeah!!!!

[@Rickdoinglife]

AWESOME! Been following yah for a while- ( the maverick/viper build- that was a cool looking build) I just installed this system in my 73 Nova- best cluster I have ever installed- ease of installation al the way down to the cool features. IT will alert yah in the digital part of the display for low fuel, voltage etc. Love the build man! Excited to see yah get LM running and driving!

[@BADD400]

That looks great Jason. So happy for you on the cluster.

[@justinpambrun5497]

Great work Jason! Glad you went with Dakota Digital. It’s looks awesome.

[@dgcrago]

Can't wait to see this thing on the road!

[@AutoEdits]

Me three!

[@robritschard3631]

Large Marge with the Baby Blues... looks great!

[@richpertgen3005]

So happy you stuck with gauges. Have had three 71-73 mustangs, so want another one.

[@Skitter302]

Looks better then I thought it would. Very cool!

[@AutoEdits]

I dig it!

[@linochestang573]

Very slick gauge setup. Great choice.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks dude.... you know I can’t wait to set this thing back in the ground and drive it!!!!!!

[@jimhughes5255]

Can’t wait to see some track days!!!

[@AutoEdits]

Me too!

[@finnthehuman5260]

Finally! More Large Marge!!

[@AutoEdits]

It's getting serious around here!

[@Jab-lj3wc]

Cluster looks really nice.

[@AutoEdits]

I’m extremely happy!

[@mariot2095]

What a time for a new video ! 😁

[@Dmcummings48]

Sweet set up! Good to see the mustang as ALWAYS

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks! I'm honestly thrilled with the quality of this system and can't wait to drive it!

[@commbubba1990]

Looks great! Glad you went that route.

[@AutoEdits]

Me toooooo!

[@abhishekchandekar2892]

Thanks to you, I'm getting these gauges in my 1970 Impala!

[@AutoEdits]

You will be so thrilled... I had to edit out the parts of the video where I really went goofy for them... LOL

[@inqufox1750]

That is one amazing Dash setup! Its so clear!

[@Cobb]

Large Marge looking good

[@flintstonemediablastinghot4484]

Super nice stuff, now lets hear it running!

[@adubbelde1]

I'm building a 37 CHev PU with a GM GEN V LT1. I have the Dakota Digital HDX gauges. I just had to plug it into my OBD. port and all the gauges populated.

[@AutoEdits]

I really loved these gauges.

[@adubbelde1]

@@AutoEdits I love them as well. I have the PAC2800 fan controller as well. The GEN V computer only has a PWM output for fan. So the Dakota Digital controller monitors engine temp and turns the fans on and off at your preset temperatures and will shut them off based on vehicle speed

[@fieldage1324]

Good to see a mustang video, great stuff.

[@OfWolfandManDL]

Awesome! Those Dakota Digital gauges look great. Getting close to taking her out for a rip? We need some kind of interior and a drive video! Keep up the good work.

[@AutoEdits]

I'll cover every bit!

[@brettguy5285]

Hell yeah! Looks great!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks I love it!

[@apkathe]

Autoedit video how can I miss it! 👍🏻

[@AutoEdits]

It literally just went up!!!!!

[@mikehoffman3690]

Nice gauge set-up.

[@chadwolfe5188]

Looks awesome!

[@AutoEdits]

Yes, this kit rocks!

[@BestUnderPressure]

Super Cool

[@Rishenjoshi]

Heck yea! a new video

[@AutoEdits]

Yeah Buddy!

[@lupeibarra1199]

I have the exact same old cluster, do you happen to have a part number or a kit number that i can look up? Thanks!

[@AutoEdits]

There’s a link to this exact part in the video description!

[@67Stang]

Just got a set of these for my 67 Mustang. Excited to get them installed. Wondering what you think about them know that you have had them for a while?

[@AutoEdits]

This is an amazing upgrade! I loved everything about. Made driving the car even more fun.

[@mustangdooley]

New large marge video drops - should I work or watch the new video? They look better than I thought they would. Awesome and thanks for the video.

[@emungai]

Always drops in the middle of my work week.

[@torreerrot]

Amazing stuff!! I need to get some of these for my 66 mustang. :)

[@AutoEdits]

I love it!

[@troyberg65]

wow those are very nice. Makes me consider going that route in the long run. Kinda would prefer if the clock spot was a gauge. very nice indeed; and the analog style gauges look amazing.

[@jkelchner4]

Awesome! Glad I helped! Looking to hook mine up to a coyote apparently they are plug and play with everything.

[@AutoEdits]

Ha, thanks! Yeah this stuff pretty much rocks!!!

[@geardriven6224]

You may have changed my mind of going with auto meter to Dakota digital for my 67 mustang project!

[@AutoEdits]

Do it!!!! So many options and you can see how amazing they look and just how easy to install. Wish I knew about this last year... would've pulled the trigger way sooner!

[@geardriven6224]

AutoEdits I have been subscribed and watching for a few years now. Love each project you do but especially the Mustang. This is the first time I have commented and so cool that you replied so quickly! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@TheCanky]

finally! i was waiting for this one :D

[@AutoEdits]

I can't even express how happy I am with this upgrade and install! So good!

[@Kilnor]

Another great video.

[@mikeyj5383]

Can you do a video just on the motor? I’d like to see how the motor does with the Sniper and supercharger. I’d like to see what tips and advice you would have on tuning this setup and how it runs overall!!! Thanks for all the cool videos 👍🏼

[@ClintonC1991]

You could also build your own with a raspberry pi. Pick up a pi and a 7 inch touch screen. Reads the data through obd2 port. I was going to do the dakota digital, but I don't have dakota digital money.

[@CharlesFlahertyB]

The tach should always be on the right or center. I don't understand why so many cars have the tach on the left. Speaking of which, does the tack have red line?

[@AutoEdits]

Yes you can program that... I'll show you in another video

[@dinkydotzero]

Its a lot like the RacePak IQ3 system I used in my Jeep, All I had to do was make an aluminum dash plate and mount the Racepak and ran the data logger. it was the easiest way I could think of putting an LS in my jeep, But I like this stuff better

[@AutoEdits]

I seriously considered RacePak as well but at only $800 bucks for this setup it made it easy to go with the Dakota Digital!!! Lol

[@lincolnisrael1634]

Liked it.

[@PaganWizard]

I'm getting this instrument cluster, but with the carbon fiber background.

[@AutoEdits]

Nice choice... I really like the looks of that one!

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

Did you have to run a ground wire for the fuel sending unit from the brain? I am installing the VHX in a 65 mustang and haven’t found anything on the Fuel - since the stock sender only has the one wire and no mounting screws. Thanks

[@AutoEdits]

The stock sender on this vehicle has 2 wires but from what I'm reading in the instructions... your should be able to run a chassis ground to the brain. Worst case is you do a manual calibration on the sender.

[@jonathanmoore7472]

I’m finally at this stage 😂

[@callofgeorge]

you mentioned selling your cobalt gauges before.. I'm ready to buy some.. you still want to sell yours? or should i just purchase new ones?? i'd much rather save some money..

[@StevoMookie]

I have them on this my 71. The problem is any glare and you can’t read the damn thing since their LEDs that’s why no factory LED lights on the sun window in the afternoon I couldn’t even see the gauges. I wish they were luminescent LEDs not too good in any sort of sunlight you only have to put, anti-reflective coding on the lens

[@naterobers4514]

What are the plans for the 'Vette?

[@blkngwinn]

Looks good but instead of keeping the stock housing white, I would paint it a matte or flat black so as to not have so much glare at night especially if you keep the brightness turned all the way up.

[@LogZzKiev]

awesome

[@asifkhan-cd9dy]

Will it hook up with FiTech system?

[@AutoEdits]

Yes, there's an interface option for that.

[@roamingtiger]

2 am I see auto edits uploaded I can stay up longer.

[@AutoEdits]

HA! This is kinda short so I appreciate the late night effort!!!!

[@roamingtiger]

AutoEdits still a good video even though I watched it with 1 eye open st times lol. The Dacota digital kit makes it look easy. If I was ever to take a project on like this I’d definitely use them. Also so glad you went blue instead of I think it was red.

[@qasimalsaidi]

That looked so good. Btw, the t-shirt that u showed us previously does not look good because of the square background. U should also start creating catch phrases that are unique to u, so u can sell 'em as t-shirts etc.

[@AutoEdits]

Good suggestions.... sounds like so much work tho... LOL

[@callofgeorge]

these look pretty sick.. if only they had plenty more gauge options to match.. i'll probably go with some autometer cobalts due to boost, a/f ratio, oil temp, etc..

[@AutoEdits]

Do whatever you want but these cover all those readings and are way easier to install... I have a Cobalt tach and speedo I'll sell you cheap.

[@callofgeorge]

@@AutoEdits email me please about them - 68stang68 at gmail

[@callofgeorge]

@@AutoEdits send me some pics if you don't mind and let me know what you want for them. electric/programmable speedo? i'll buy them off you as long as they're in good working order and aren't scratched up. trying to save some money where i can to get mine back together again. oh, and i did speak with the guys at Dakota Digital. they do offer additional analog gauges, but he said it'd run about $250 a piece to add them due to them making them to order. that's for their HDX line of gauges.. they are awesome looking gauges.. i just can't afford that setup right now.

[@MrMatttrow]

What kind of seats are those?

[@MoloneLabe]

$1200 dollars for gauges!?!? Was looking for them for my 87 blazer.

[@6at32off]

Oh I'm so getting those for my 69 :)

[@AutoEdits]

You will be thrilled with them... so cool to jump behind the wheel every single time!

[@yankeetraveler1118]

Dude...When???? C'mon man!

[@AutoEdits]

Yep, I know... If only I could get enough views on this junk so the KZbin can be my full time job... but it's not and you know... life. LOL

[@Creating_Space]

cool video and all, but...... where's pinto?!

[@AutoEdits]

She's in there a couple times!

[@omarmendez3491]

Got that first comment

[@AutoEdits]

NICE!
