Re: gauges
geesh, every time I look at aftermarket gauges, even the old style OE ones, I drool. I have a 92 so is it a hard swap to do, practically the entire dash has to be swapped correct? I hate the late model gauges, they look like something out of a caprice or something, hardly muscle car.

Re: gauges
That's a warning limit, you can see a tick mark above the tach that corresponds to that limit on the graph. If I hit that limit, the whole gauge will start to flash. That's also where the SES (displayed as "ENGINE") shows up for any codes. I suppose I could change that limit, but that was where the yellow band started on the cluster I sent to Dakota Digital, so they programmed it accordingly. The other gauges have programmable alarm limits too, and will flash when they are reached.
