i want a tach seeing as how i dont have one in my cluster, all i want is a simple answer, is there wiring for a tach already hooked up and ready go behind the current cluster so that all i have to do is buy an aftermarket tach and wire it in behind the cluster?

 

There should be provisions in the cluster, you will need the corresponding gauges, you could also find a cluster with a tach, if not its easy to hook up an aftermarket tach,

 

i've looked into clusters with a tach and they don't come cheap, how do install a tach (brief description)

 

Positive, negative, illumination, tach signal (coil negative).

 

ok i didn't know where the tach got its signal from

 

red-key power
black-neg
white-light
green-signal-from coil neg.

 

thanks guys, now the decision, big tach on dash, or pillar pod tach?

 

I vote factory too.

 

Check on eBay, type in: F150 cluster for several pages of instrument clusters.

It's a direct replacement, it's already wired for a tachometer from the factory,
just remove the old one and plug-in cluster with a tachometer, but you already know this.

 

I used to have 3" tachs on my steering column.
