Do some looking around on jegs. I was looking at this for my old car. Its basic, not that big but not really small. Only like $60.

Do a cluster swap. I have an extra one if you want to buy one.

I've got this one, I wanted something small but big enough to see. It's not a race car, don't need a huge 5" tach and shift lite.



Paid like 20 bucks for it on ebay, works great.

Only like 3 or 4 wires.

I was wondering why my truck had a tach since its not an SR5. I'm glad it does though!
