From the ‘90s Mini-Truckin era, to performance street/strip phase, to the Resto-mod of today, S10 and S-15’s have had their place virtually everywhere.  Are mini-trucks coming back?  Are these little trucks the next big thing?  Only time will tell, but either way, they are here to stay and Dakota Digital has your solution to upgrade the dash.  The VHX Direct-fit package is a direct drop-in affair.  The included sensors make installation a breeze, while the various background and lighting colors allow this to coordinate with even the most custom S-Series.

System replaces the entire factory instrument cluster and lens assembly, fully remade with a billet aluminum housing and optical grade polycarbonate lenses.

Full 6 Gauge Instrument System fits into OEM bezel for 1982- 1985 Chevy/ GMC S-10, S-15 Pickups and Blazers.

*System fits trucks with stock oil pressure and water temp gauges and without factory tachometer.

**Bezel not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes.
System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.

MHX-82C-S10 Metric system (KM/H and degrees Celsius) is available as a custom option for no additional cost, but may take approximately 8-16 weeks to build due to high demand affecting production.

Oil Pressure - 1/8" NPT solid state sensor with a 10 ft harness.

Cable Drive Speed Sensor/Generator - Replaces GM style speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Sensor requires approximately 5" clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part # 130011 (sold separately) allows for relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required. (Tremec and Ford style adaptors available for purchase separately, please look for part number 620006)

Calibration

Pushbutton - Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers.
