Dakota Digital Gauge Installation
This sheet covers the installation of the Dakota Digital gauge kit into your 1973-79 Ford
F Series Truck, 1978-79 Bronco or 1975-89 E Series Van.
Remove the cluster from the vehicle.
Remove the clear lens from the
front of the cluster. Now is a good
time to clean it and use a good
clear plastic polish to reduce the
visibility of small scratches.
Remove the screws holding the
front gauge separator panel from
the factory gauge cluster. Set
aside the factory gauge can.
Using the supplied templates, mark
the outer openings on the gauge
separator panel for material
removal as shown. This is the
minimum that needs to be
removed. If you remove more
material it is recommended to
leave about an 1/8” ledge for the
lens to sit on and be glued to.
