Just wondering who here is running 5" tachs... Somebody gave me one and was thinking of putting it on the truck even though I know its ricey.
I need to do somehtin my stock only goes to 6k and im shifting above 6k

 

get the small 2 5/8's tach from autometer and mount it by the hazard button like bluecajun did.

 

maybe run something like this

That digital one looks like it might be hard to read?? do you have it??

well I might use this one since it was free, its deffinatley easy to read just dont know where to put it.

Anyone have any pics?

 

its about the same as a wideband look in the summit catalog to see it lite up

 

in your auto i think is unness to have that big of a tach mounted up on your dash. how high can you really be shifting? that it would matter seeing the extra 300 rpm. i never looked at my monster tahc in my blue truck anyways i just watched for a shift light.. unless i was sand bagging

edit. i saw you were cammed and blown. with a th400 lol. my bad. i saw extended cab on rims and didnt even think to exspect that

 

I put a 2 5/8" tach in my 2000. I cut up a gauge pod and used fiberglass to hold it in. If you search under BlackGMC's threads you'll find a pretty good write up on how he did it. I really like it in the pod at the bottom, really easy to see and is very useful with helping me shift. I tend to have the steering wheel down a little bit so its harder to see the higher RPM shifts.

Heres a pic from when I first finished it.

 

iv seen people put one of those monster tachs on top of the dash beside their a pillar gauges looks good but i would think it would be in your line of site like that. I also have heard that you can buy one of those fancy shift lights and hide it inside your a/c vent beside the door to be stealthy. I think thats what i would do you could always sell the tach and buy that. just addin my two cents.

 

Looks clean....

think im gona try out the monster tach, mount it in front of the stocker...

If it gets on my nerves I can try somthin else
