Dakota Digital 70-74 Challenger Rallye Gauges Kit Factory Look RTX-70D-CLG-X

[DS71Cuda]

Hello For E Bodies Only. Has anyone out there used one of these digital instrument clusters or know of anyone? They are on eBay,

Dakota Digital 70-74 Challenger Rallye Gauges Kit Factory Look RTX-70D-CLG-X.​

Are they a good product? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you

I hope it's a good product since I have one on order for my Challenger. It certainly looks pretty cool. When it shows up I'll be happy to offer an opinion.


I ordered it through Phoenix Tuning around the middle of April and was given an estimated lead time of 8 - 12 weeks so should be getting close. I need to call them and get an updated status. I'm guessing the estimated delivery date of Aug. 2 given on the eBay site I saw may be a little optimistic....

Yes a buddy has one in his 73 Cuda, absolutely loves it. If I ever decided to replace the rally cluster in my 70 challenger RT this is what I would use. Easy to install, exceptionally versatile and completely configurable.

Can't say enough about my Dakota set. Dakota Digital is absolutely a great product.

These are the non-rallye version that came out first. The new rallye version looks even better, I would have converted mine to rallye. Pricy but worth it.

I have couple buddies with them and no complaints at all. Sounds like a good piece.

Any updates @DS71Cuda
They do have a lifetime warranty so buy direct from Dakota Digital.

I installed the rallye version a couple of months ago. The dash is sitting on a bench as the car is still in the body shop so I can't comment on how it actually works on the street, but from what I've seen so far it's a great product. Looks great and the installation instructions were very easy to understand and follow. I've run it through the bench test modes and love the look of the instrumentation. As others have commented, extremely configurable to however you wish to use it. So far no regrets.

Hi, I just have a question. I have the Dakota digital non-rally gauges. I have not hooked them up yet. I’ve been trying to get the gauge to align bezil. I can’t seem to get them to a line right. I did get to a line when I shimmed it, but then the plastic piece doesn’t align with the bottom screws. Didn’t know if someone could give me a hint about what to do or if they had to do something special to make it work thank you

I also have a question on the speedo adapter.
What does the adapter/mechanism look like that goes into the transmission.
I did a 518 swap and the space in that area is tight.
Hoping someone has pics of their install.

Thx

Sensor... and pic of mine (only shot I have)

 

[Katfish]

Really appreciate the pic, thx!
I was really thinking hard about the Dakota gauges, love the look.
But no way that adapter works in my situation.

You can also go with their GPS Speedo option...

 

[Katfish]

Thx, that looks like an option.
Adds another $300 to the equation, ouch
