Why YOU Should Install a TACH 

New baby arrived this week! Also added a new baby to the 1st gen family, any guesses?

Installed a tach. using the Geno's steering column mount and the prefab wiring harness you used, easy install and it works as it should. Thank You. Great video!

Nice tutorial Tim, looks sharp in the OG ! Nice upgrade to have a tach.

Found the harness on E-bay, fast delivery easy install, works great!

Awesome stuff sir, good info!!!!

Great vid Tim! Too bad they aren't making the classic style tach's anymore. Congrats on the new baby. Don't know how you do the vids with such a big family. Cheers.

Oh this is six and a row jim commenting about the wiper blades like I said they’re the best I’ve ever had

I built a center console for all my gauges. I think I sent a photo to your e-mail address this past week that would have included the console.

Awesome. This is on the project list. have you run into any speedometer issues? I have replaced the sending unit on the trans and got no love. I've seen some tutorials on repairing the factory speedo but was considering aftermarket. Thoughts?

Nice one Tim 👍🏻

Nice! I have the same setup

I have a 1st gen, 1st gen! My Dad ordered this truck new in 1989, built in December 1989 , the truck is immaculate for the year and all and mostly original. Only thing not original is upgraded fuel pump and injection pump tuning. VE pump,12 valve are not even close to excactly the same, there are suddenle and drastic changes sometimes. I am struggling to find parts and support for this year model. A!C hoses, especially the hoses with the capillary tube! The rest is available, the Dodge Dealer where it was bought from originally can’t find or get the parts either. I’ve searched everywhere I know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated and from any followers of this channel. Thank you for your help and support on your videos on our old dinosaurs!

Gino’s garage has always been helpful to me too I just installed a set of wiper blades from those guys best wiper blades I ever had..

Tim, I looked on Amazon for the auto meter single gauge steering column plastic mold. But all the reviews said that the part did NOT come with mounting holes to match the stock bottom plastic. Hope that’s not too confusing… was this your experience??

Great video! Looking to install a tach on my 92 first gen! Is there any kind of link you could provide for the one you installed? Thanks!

I have a 1986 dodge ramcharger. Needs alot of TLC. Need a wiring harness for the engine bay. Thought about trying to make my own. Any tips on where to get a wiring harness ??

Nice job put it together only problem is like I got a 3800 RPM governor spring and only goes to 3000 it’s a six in a row jim

Since the arrival of the new baby I noticed you have developed super human speed..

Did the install looks great and it works. I think I have it calibrated correctly, can you help with the Minimum and Maximum RPM's for a 1993 5.9 12 valve, looked in all my books can't find that info.? Great Vid's!

So this is for a 91.5-93 years. the pre 91.5 you need to either use a reader on the crank pulley or a Alternator drive tach. he must have an ECM to have that plug. Correct me if I am wrong? Great videos

Hey I’m currently about to do this to my truck I can’t figure out how to get the old housing off, and it feels like I may break it I posted in the 1st gen cummins page and am waiting to see if anyone has any tips but figured I’d ask here too. How do you actually get the old housing off without breaking it

I've been looking at doing this and you used a separate ground wire but couldn't you just jumper from where the black (DC ground) wire lands to where it shows to connect to lamp ground?

I know my pcm is so I ordered a one wire alternator with a tach terminal on it I hooked up the signal wire and the tach needle just jumps around then pegs out at 4k. Could it be sending the wrong signal or a faulty tach?

Anything I should check because i double checked everything but when I plug it in no lights and it doesn’t show any rpm

Do your trucks have AC? New here and I could never tell/see a compressor

I have an old banks tach…. It is literally a relabeled isspro even says isspro on the back.

Do you know if the 91.5 would have that plug under the dash?

What is the harness for the early models?

Man its just that easy? Could I have a bad tach?? The needle jumps just slightly when I turn on the key, and jumps slightly again when I start the truck but both times it falls right back to 0

The older model video would be much appreciated lol.. Ive had a tach for over a year waiting to go in and i just can't find enough information for the confidence to do it.

Does it work with internal regulator mod

I have a 89 Cummins the stator method sucks help

Would be be possible in my 91.5

I can’t find the tack on Geno’s garage

😎🇺🇸

where is the part number?

I don’t know if you’ll see this after all this time, but I’m looking to put a tach on my truck with a 318 in it. Does it work the same way? Any difference in the wiring/harness I need or whatever? I’m pretty stupid when it comes to electronics and wiring so I want to make sure I don’t go buying a bunch of parts I can’t even use.
