I'm really liking the music in the background definitely a nice touch.

[@saabkyle04]

Glad you like it!

[@Brutalcrashes12]

@@saabkyle04 hey can u react to ur old car reviews?

[@OLDS98]

This was very informative. You know your stuff Kyle. I thought it was interesting what you had to do and how you were able to get what you needed.

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@Candyvyorn_]

So glad I found your channel just got a 1986 Monte Carlo ss from my dad yesterday with a brand new 350 crate engine with zero miles can’t wait to follow some of your videos to make it look and handle better.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

That's awesome! I love the mix between old and new school. Very informative video too, thanks!

[@saabkyle04]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@dwalmop2]

To be honest, I like the factory rally gauge cluster look those years. That said, the RTX looks like a nice unit if you had the lower trim level ones.

[@porfiriato84]

Dang. I haven't seen a video from this channel in years. This guy used to be the go to car reviewer. Looks like he went a different route some time ago huh? Understandable.

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video kyle really likeing the cluster is super sick and kida old school ish look to it too makes the inside of the car look really nice once it has cleaned up good thumbs up and shared

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Such a nice new school dakota digital instrument cluster I absolutely love it bro

[@donhaschi]

I’loving the background music ! Excellent choice(-s) 👍🏻

[@thallysdacostalima951]

Hey Kyle go do and in depth tour on these 2022 Cars

[@frozencarguy6274]

Looks great.

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks!

[@JavierUnicoSemental]

¡El coche de "Día de entrenamiento" actualizado!

[@tucksmith8300]

That’s a nice looking cluster right there buddy

[@CoryGP]

They look nice. My only gripe is the speedo and the tach look funny with the sweeps not centered in the gauge face circle to accommodate the display screens.

[@zemoney954]

Yesss AWSOME MANE ! GREAT VIDEO BROTHER! NICE NICE WORK

[@andrewfuller881]

The last comment I posted about the exhaust system would sound cool with the Hollywood exhaust... that with the Monte carlo would sound mean !!!, like a Boss 429 exhaust I bet the Hollywood exhaust system would sound awesome just a suggestion no big deal its your car plus if add 3 turbos with electric assist would sound so Sci-Fi

[@LaSuperDiversion]

Hey! So nice to see you keep your upload schedule with the same high quality videos. Ive got a little question, how's your Viper doing? Cheers

[@saabkyle04]

I actually sold it several years back when we started building out house. Thanks!

[@andrewfuller881]

I've heard a ram 350 1992 w/ Hollywood mufflers exhaust it sounds awesome it was like rrrr rrrrr rrrr rrrrr rrrrrr rrrr then the turbo whine

[@rojanvillaflor0414]

Nice Awesome Bro! Keep up the good work Kyle!!!❤💯❤

[@felkerforcongress]

That was pretty cool... i hate my 86 ss only goes up to 85mph, I wonder if I could order a new MPH gage out of an 87 that goes up to 125MPH? What engine are you running in your SS? Thanks for sharing man, great job.

[@mesnlokz3335]

I just bought this exact cluster 😎 I have installed a 4l60E on my 86 Monte Carlo with a TCI controller. This kit will be good to just plug in to the transmission speed sensor correct…?

[@jadaf4i]

Great video buddy

[@dinodave220]

You are growing up. You making me feel old..lol

[@saabkyle04]

Hahaha yeah I feel old too, it's ok 😂

[@matthewgerovac5226]

The cluster seems interesting. Compared to how the analogs were back then.

[@saabkyle04]

Oh yeah, it's a really cool setup

[@diesel-landdiagnostic7407]

Question the cruise and speed out are hooked up to the 3 wire plug all together?

[@rturner4205]

I wonder if they have one for a 3rd gen F Body, Might be a good gift for a old buddy.

[@saabkyle04]

Just check their website, you can look it up by the vehicle 👍

[@rturner4205]

@@saabkyle04 Found it, and oh boy that is a little expensive. But hey, Would be a nice gift.

[@cromedome2617]

Did you leave the circuit board and bulb slots in ?

[@davidrey3928]

Where did you find the wiring diagram?

[@MarkHuie]

I'm curious about the cruise control setup you mentioned. Did you use the factory style vacuum servo, or go with an aftermarket style unit? I did a TPI conversion on my "87 El Camino and I haven't been able to get my cruise control to work since the conversion.

[@markryl-kuchar2373]

Idk why but I really feel like the emerald light scheme is the way to go with the headlights on

[@abdielj.aponte5132]

I love the vídeo and Also the music

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks!

[@milanimartir2863]

where did you get all that wiring information

[@wisco1225]

Very cool

[@jamiegrant7263]

Where did you get the smooth lens with out the holes

[@justinunger38]

Did you film the video on the 240sx with it new gauges

[@connie2848]

Just got the dash installed into my MC , now my headlights or front turn signals not working. Lights only come on with the high beams . Any suggestions, anyone????

[@ogloc3135]

I love on how he sounds like Goku Lol

[@albertovaldivia5646]

where did you buy the smooth lens at

[@queezytarantino1456]

Nice build! I have an 85 regal and was having trouble finding a dash wiring diagram. Where did you find yours?

[@820performancecomptonbro4]

Hey bro what wire you use for alternator igniter

[@johnnysalazar5399]

Nice

[@MRQUETTE]

When doing the dim wire into the Dakota Digital control box did you have to add power or do anything special to make it function correctly?

[@84SS931]

Did you ground the rocker switch or Did you just connect the wires to the control box?

[@brettmeyer6186]

What dash cover did you go with? Awesome video.

[@coreytucker1270]

Hey sir, If you dont mind me asking where did you find the clear glass peice with no holes in it?

[@thallysdacostalima951]

Hey Kyle Go do and in depth tour on these Suzuki Cars for me Kyle thanks

[@gerredstallings465]

Nice set up

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks!

[@gerredstallings465]

Your well come

[@johnnycooke8372]

If you still have the factory cluster I'm interested.

[@balance_it_all_out3688]

I think I have one

[@user-iq8et7fs4n]

Did anyone ever install this one and know the brights will not turn off. Anyone have any suggestion on this????

[@throopstories6388]

Where you located I need you to install my Rtx in my 87 Monte Carlo ss

[@FurbyFan-bx5bd]

Awesome!

[@paulduke9419]

Were are you located ao you can do my 1987 monte carlo ss

[@towcars5550]

yo i order the dakota i heard i also need to buy the digital gps sensor also

[@ItzTheDay]

I'm pretty sure the HDX is above the RTX.

[@crismartinez3779]

Do you have a link for the Dash cap?

[@solok1642]

Have you sold those gauges that you took out yet?

[@nimblybimbly4002]

What brand was the dash cap?

[@justamark9085]

Where did you find the wiring diagram for that pigtail for the turn signals and fuel Im very in need of that

[@saabkyle04]

You can find them online, but I have a factory service manual that I use, it's been a lifesaver for me

[@stevelewis9243]

Do you still have the old cluster?

[@section2377]

I think your idea of easy may be different than mine, haha

[@saabkyle04]

Hahaha I actually quite enjoy wiring now, I'm no expert or anything, but tedious tasks are usually my favorite 😂

[@foodindependant]

you gonna get back to doing car reviews? these fix up videos are great but I mean, alot of your subs are here for your car reviews. you were the OG car reviewer on KZbin man!

[@saabkyle04]

I have no plans on going back to car reviews anytime soon. I enjoy what I'm doing now, plus, I'm now running a shop with a good friend of mine doing restoration work for clients so I have my hands pretty full at the moment.

[@foodindependant]

How do I get in touch with you

[@randomrazr]

man kyle has the hands of a pharmacist ;)

[@TheBrady666]

I know this video is old. But I'm thinking of starting a similar project on the same car. Does the instrument cluster work with gear position on manual transmission positions?

[@missingremote4388]

The entire video audio is to loud somehow. Mabee it is my own ears ( hearing loss L/R)

[@saabkyle04]

It's not edited any different from my other videos, but I appreciate the feedback nonetheless
