Factory Tach

Ok, I've searched dodge nationwide, had Mopar search on their three national locaters, and gone thru cummins. No-one has the factory tach. I wont be happy until i have one. Anybody know of any? I will donate my left googly to anyone who can come up with one.<br> -Ratchet-

Re:Factory Tach

LOL...good luck finding one. I think most of the guys on here and the TDR have got the last ones they had nationwide! Why not go with the Isspro Tach?

Re:Factory Tach

I would buy someone the isspro tach and trade them for a factory one any day. Monty do you have a pic of your tach?<br> -RATCHET-

Re:Factory Tach

The factory tach ain't all that great.. Other than matching the gauges, the resolution of the marks on the gauge are really poor. Ie. 500-750-1000-1250-1500 etc..with no ticks in between. Sorta hard to tell if my idle is 800 or 900. ???<br><br>I'm keepin it though... <br><br>J-eh<br><br>

Re:Factory Tach

I do not think the factory one's are anything special. The one on my brothers 92 works fine, but like Lil Dog said sorta hard to tell idle.<br><br>Paul

I've got a factory tach. Works fine for me. But I HATE the lighting in it for nighttime. It's fuzzy and is hard to read.

It only works on the '92 and '93 trucks - but the good news is that you can sell it and make enough money to buy a couple AutoMeter alternator tachs.
