The Dakota cluster, gauges, and sensors are very spendy, but super attractive and work very well. I did all the wiring and sensor installation, and it’s not that difficult. Perhaps the biggest early obstacle was creating a 12 V power source
As for the EGT of 1400, that’s only for the briefest...
I bought the BJ42 two years ago and went through unbelievable trials getting it road and trail-ready!
Including:
1) Garrett turbo installation (thanks diesel42!)
2) Replaced head gasket
3) Then had to replace ENGINE when engine seized due to cylinder sleeves shed into oil pan
4) New front and...
I am so grateful for the
The Dakota digital boost sensor is meaty enough (1/8 npt) that it could be screwed into a slightly undersized hole in the silicon for the crossover tube and likely be fine. The having been acknowledged, I created a "T" fitting in the waste gate circuit and will be using...
Good afternoon!
I’m in the process of installing my Dakota Digital gauges in my BJ 42. At the moment I have decided to go with a flywheel induction sensor for the tachometer, but don’t have a port in the Bell housing in which to install it. For those of you who have installed these aftermarket...
I was lucky enough to find a used 3B in Canada to swap out for my blown 3B (cylinder sleeves shed into the crankcase after a head gasket change) and now have the aforementioned blown 3B sitting on a pallet while I look for a shop to rebuild it as a spare.
Whee would be the best place for me...
greetings and salutations, I just got my hands on a Dakota Digital gauge system and I’m in the process of adding tachometer capability. I can either use an inductive sensor for the tooth flywheel, or the “W” terminal from the 24 V alternator. Does anybody here have any experience doing either of...
My mechanic is good, but slow… the tear down may take a minute.
do any of you know someone who has extensive experience and expertise who could drop in a 15 BT for me?
I had just picked it up from the mechanic who put in a diesel 42 turbo and a new head gasket - it was running GREAT. I have a manual fuel shutoff switch (goodbye EDIC!) that I had just activated, which usually makes the engine shut down in a gentle, rolling way. In this case, as soon as I...
