Heres the deal..my 86 pickup has a 5 speed manual in it. BUT my gauge cluster doesnt have a factory tach/RPM gauge. Do any of the 80s trucks have an RPM gauge? or just the manuals. Even most autos have it, so im wondering why mine doesnt.

 

I know for a fact that the factory tach was an option so not all trucks have em(I think it comes with the SR5 package )

also the possibility of a swapped out gauge cluster

 

The tach was an option for that year. I don't think the tach's became standard until the late model Tacomas.

 

i have a 86 22r and i dont have a tach and i am 100% sure nobody changed min it only has 79,000 miles on it

 

Alright thanks guys. I should just run the VIN of my truck. It had a motor swap to th ebuick 3.8L before I bought it. SO I wasnt sure if they did the tranny swap aswell. Guess i should look up the original build sheet online.

 

my 4runner doesnt have a tach either... its just base model crap

 

I used to never think you could get a manual transmission without a tach

You can always swap out the cluster, or buy a small tach.

 

my truck has an oldschool autometer tach,i ws just wondering.

 

Both my 82 and 86 did not have it.

 

my 92 pickup doesnt have it... but its also not the sr5 either

 

mine must be the basic then. Cool, thanks for the info guys. Great as usual

 

I've got manual everything, base model in my '91 p/u xcab, 22RE, 5sp, no bells or whistles and it does have a tach. It's the original cluster too...maybe cause it's Canadian eh?

 

I had an 86 22r with the 5 speed. My truck did not have one.

 

I think it is the Deluxe, and SR5 models that have a tach.

the base models don't
