howdy guys! i bought my 4.2 F150 used after like 6k miles but didnt have the choice to put a tach in it... well its reached the time where im tired of driving without one, specially cause its a manual. i just bought an aftermarket tach that im going to put in in a couple days and was wondering if any of you fine gentlemen might let me know what the red line is..? would appreciate it as always, thanks
