Yes, Pete is my contact at Nu Image. I've been talking with various
reps at Nu Image for a couple of months now, bugging them about the
2001++ gauge faces, and latched onto him after he posted his note on
www.dodgedakotas.com in the group buys area. I think his post was a
one-time surf, which may explain why he hasn't replied to you on that
site. I've spoken to him on the phone a few times over the last couple
of days, and for a company which doesn't do direct retail, he's been
more than co-operative with my questions. I'm hoping to get some
official pictures of the 2001-2002 gauges, Pete says their 3-year old
website is about to get a massive overhaul, so pictures of all of the
models will eventually be available.
As far as your questions about mph and rpm's, even the 1997-2000 model
years have the numerals for the mph and tachometer visible, and while
the yellows aren't there, red hash marks are posted at 500rpm intervals
for the red-line rpm's (look close at the pictures I have posted from Nu
Image). The 1997-2000 model gauges have the 6000rpm tachometer only
(I'm checking on a 7000rpm tach for you few 2000 owners who have one),
and all of the 2001-2002 gauges have the 7000rpm tachometer.
Drop me an e-mail so I can put you on my mini-mailing list, I'll update
you directly as soon as I get any new information. I'm already over 10
confirmed orders, so meeting my self-imposed deadline of 2/1/02 to meet
Nu Image's minimum 25 quantity for the group buy shouldn't be a problem.
