So back when I bought this truck 4 or 5 years ago it didn't have a tach in it. After the first time I towed my trailer with a load on I decided I needed a tach, so I bought a cheapie Equus unit, knowing that it was kind of stop gap, not the best quality but would perform the function. Well now it's starting to fail, occasionally it'll stop reading for a short time. I've checked the connections and believe that the tach is starting to fail.
Option #1, replacing it with another aftermarket tach, which is fine with me, but it needs to be a traditionally or classic styled instrument that fits in with the rest of the truck and does not standout as looking to modern.
Option #2 The other option would be to get a factory tach kit from LMC. I'd be curious to hear from other folks that have done the LMC kit. I actually kind of wanted to do this back when I got the aftermarket unit, and while I'm in there I could fix a couple other issues with the instrumentation. Biggest con with this is cost
What you guys think? Thanks.
