Find a sr5 cluster for your year with a tach in it. you will get some gauges instead of idiot lights too.

We dont do aftermarket ricer tachs on this site. How tacky.

So, you had an sr5 cluster and now you don't and now you have nonsr5 cluster installed and want to install an aftermarket tach to use with the nonsr5 cluster that's not installed in your dash because the sr5 dash was stolen. Tach.

Would never give a young marine trouble. And I think your truck is nice and you do cool stuff to it.
