gauges

i have the gauge cluster without the tachometer. it sucks. i would like to put in the stock gauge cluster with the tachometer ( i dont really want to mount an aftermarket tach on the dash). as far as i know i need to purchase one and have the dealership code in the pats system to be compatable with my truck. is that all or is there anything else.?

I'm not sure, but fallowing the Ford designers behaviour for years, probably just need install it inside cluster. There is no need for additional wires or computer setup, everything should be ready.

if you have a digital odometer, you can use that as a tach. just search the forums.

Using the digital tach is easy, but you have to press the button about 18 times each time you start the truck.
