I have an 87 PU with just the basic dash cluster (speed, temp, gas) and decided to install this tach. It was very easy to install and works wonderfully. Plus, it was only $25 with free shipping from Amazon. =] What do you guys think?
(sorry for the crappy cell phone pic)

 

Nice, I got the same one, I mounted mine on the steering column though!! I think I want to move it to the A-pillar though!!

 

there good tach's; I ran one for quite some time, mounted up on the pillar

I got a deal on another tach, so I upgraded now there's a 5" Autometer in the center of my dash, shift light and all, blocking my view...

necessary, no; freek'n sweet, hellz yes


I installed my tach like that for the same reasons though; it works perfect and it's not overly elaborate, can be pretty easily tucked away cause of it's size, and it's cheap

 

same here, they're good cheap tachs

 

im jealous, i need one

 

aaaah... us SR5 guys get all the perks with not needing to install vision blocking tachs...

 

psh... SR5 is overated... I don't my ego is just fine withough "SR5" stuck to the back of my truck

 

The SR5 swap is the only way to go IMO. I did it, everything works & looks stock. Any Tach is better than no tach though!

 

Mines a DLX and it has the tach in the cluster.

 

nice little tach.

Yup yup. tachs were an option for DLX. My '93 DLX had a tach in the dash

 

where did you hook up the green wire? And do you have pics of the connection?

 

the "-" negative terminal on the ignition coil; actually an 85 has a different coil than my 91 if I'm not mistaken, and I think there's a plug with one wire that's just for the tach



and you know what's funny about this thread coming up again, is that since the last time I posted in it, I went from this:

and even made a write-up on the process too
