Got me a tach to install tomorrow, gonna look up one of the many threads and hope for lots of pics and little words.

Also got a remote start switch, cause I'm going to need it to make it a little easier to get to the torque converter drain plug; and I know I'll need one for other work at some point.

And of course a new trans filter and pan gasket (rubber). Just need fluid (lots, apparently) for the trans and some for the diffs and transfer.

 

whered you get the tac and how much did it run ya if you don't mind. thanks

 

Pep boys and $44 I think. They had a smaller one for $19-$20 But I figured the bigger one would be easier to read.

 

i got one close to that for 35 at advanced auto. the only problem i have with it is the gauge fogs up I will be getting a better one soon...

 

I was going to order a digital one from online somewhere but they were pretty expensive.

 

yeah they are and still might fog up it all depends on how well they are made i guess. the fluid filled ones are the best they will never fog up but cost much more then 40 bucks.

 

Yes they do cost more.. Maybe I can just rig mine so the face is water tight or atleast wont leak and just make a fluid one myself. Or just take the face plate off. If its not vacuum sealed that is. Or .... I wonder how hard it would be to make your own digital one...

 

don't make a fluid one yourself i see smoke in your future if you do LOL
a digital one might be an easier way to go if you are good with circuits but i would say do the dash swap its easy, cheap and will not fog up
I may swap my tach out with at least a better fluid 2 inch one like i have now maybe one that the display color can be changed.

 

Look on ebay found a digital for 20 with free shipping.

 

I've already got mine and I don't mind the fogging, I'll find a way to fix it, if it ever starts fogging up on me. Thank you though.
