I have no idea.

A look up gives:

I'll print and post my copy.

My presumption that ford used the same harnesses with models like they did in yesteryear may have been at work here.

I found this in the manual though.

again for F-series.

KG3 CHECK POWER TO TACHOMETER
Disconnect large white instrument cluster harness connector.
Key on, engine off.
Measure voltage of Circuit 640 (R/Y) between Pin 6 on the large white instrument cluster harness connector and ground.
Key off.

You are doing the same thing I did, assuming the F-series and the E-series are the same. I am now thinking they are not. I would also think all diesel pickups would have a tach standard? When I looked in the E-series manual, the cluster did not have a tach.
