The stuffed animal is a nice touch, lol.

But seriously it looks good. The flamed gauges look okay to me. I was kinda hopin' you'd go with a guage that lights up blue. Isn't that what color the Escalade gauges light up? Not sure though. Anyways looks cool and adds function.

then all you would need is a fart cannon. and a wing twice the size of your bed and you can hang out with the ricers. gauges look good.

Don't hate on my bobble head bulldog! He's been in the truck since day two, so I can't just throw him. I'm still up in the air on if I'm going to do the escalade cluster or a denali cluster with a white face and red numbers, since I'm going to install a digital temp on the a-pillar and just really want the new cluster for the 120 speedo. Decisions...Decisions...

Damn, I knew I forgot something last night. I did manage to see 6200 last night. If all this stupid rain would stop I'd get it on the camera tonight, but I'm not doing it with my street slicks still on.

Damn, I love those escalade gauges! You might have made up my mind on that one.

This is the part number for the tach- NRD-M9004
This is the part number on the gauge pod- ATM-15007

Install is a snap. I just spliced into the ignition hot, a ground coming out of the stock gauge cluster, the dimmer wire to the dimmer wire coming out of the headlight box, and I spliced into the white wire in the stock cluster for the tach function. We had to calibrate it for the motor, but it's a super simple process that just requires cutting two loop wires in back of the tach. Took about 10 seconds to do.

That digital tach looks cool slowprocess, it would look way better with the Escalade cluster in back of it. Although if you dont want to pay that much a Denali cluster will look just as good too. They both are about the same, only that the Caddy cluster has that fancy looking style, while the Denali keeps the truck style but with the tranny guage, 120 MPH speedo, and white needles. your choice, laters.
