Dakota Digital VHX gauges into ls1/4l60e Chevelle
#22
I just installed a set in my 78 vette LS. Worked out great. Pretty simple install. I lost my glove box when installing the vintage air so mounted the ECU there. I had to trim a couple places with dremel tool but no big deal. Easy to see in daylight and nice dim at night.

Here's their VHX set up I just installed in a 66 Nova......Great Stuff.....It's nice to get what you pay for........Great Job Dakota Digital!!!

Just hooked up these gauges in my 63 nova today. I definitely recommend getting the OBD-II port module, because setup was a breeze. When you add the OBDII module you can pull the RPM, speed, engine temp, intake temp, and engine indicator all from the ECM.
One thing that is disappointing is that I could not get the gear position from my 4L60E using the OBD-II module.

I finally got my truck running and was pleasently suprised that I am able to get the gear indication from the 6L80. It displays as follows:
P
R
N
D
2
When I activate the TUTD function with my paddle shifters, the "2" changes and displays
"Gear 1", "Gear 2".........."Gear 6".
Pretty stoked about that. Now if I can figure out a way to get the BUS to display the oil pressure AND to allow me to scan while the gauges are hooked up, my mission will be complete..... Actually, I want one more thing. I want to be able to connect the CAN HI/CAN LOW wires directly to the VHX brain so the BIM module wouldn't be needed.......LOL.

I purchased a set for my Chevelle a few months ago, but haven't got around to installing them.
I plan to take my Chevelle down for a mini-makeover. I'm switching the TKO-600 out to a 4l80e, Installing the gauges, building a custom console for the new shifter, and replacing the Old Air Products A/C with a Classic Auto Air system.
Once I get around to building the Trans (purchased a Jakes Stage 2 Kit). I'll start the one.
