    Dakota digital gauges dead?

    Guys— I wanted to follow up and let you know what I found. The constant power wire had a break somewhere; I fixed that, running a new hot wire, and upgraded the ground while there. There is a constant red blinking light on the control box…. If it’s not blinking, you don’t have constant power...

    Normal Temperature at 70mph +/-

    Ok guys, back with a few photos. I haven’t been able to spend any time in the shop this week but I wanted to answer a few questions to keep the ball rolling; It does have a fan shroud, and a new water pump.

    I’m running 33x10.50 tires. I’m assuming I have 3.70 gears being a ‘79 How could I verify the Dakota digital gauges being correct / incorrect?

    Front Clip Bolts?

    As I was working on the Cruiser yesterday, I noticed that one of my front clip bolts was missing. See attached picture. Made me wonder if I even had the correct bolts in there from the get-go. Is the torx bolt the correct factory bolt? If so, I’ll work on tracking down a second bolt. Thanks!
