    "Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!"



    I don't know about service but I've talked to the guys at SEMA and they seem to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I don't think I've read any negative posts about them anywhere. I've been looking at these ever since they came out and have seem them in person. My preference is the black face with white numbers but they have 3 faces with 3 color choices for of numbers. They also come with temp, oil pressure and speed senders.

    For a guy with more taste for originality, that isn't appealing for me. I believe Classic Instruments just came out with a new release. Their customer service has always been #1. I will give them a call. Thanks for the info
