I was looking at their 6v tachs a while back. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | i got the 3CT33-2-6V. it has a three inch face. i like it because its easy to see and read at all rpms. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | How is it hooked up? Did it come ready to go or did you have to modify anything on the tach or truck for it to work?

I was thinking about getting one of those plastic carbon fiber a-pillar pods and mounting it directly in my line of sight along with my battery temp and blinker fluid gauges. Just kidding.  I'll probably just mount it to the column somewhere. What I really meant was how it 'plugged in'. I was hoping it was close to plug and play and I wouldn't have to modify anything mechanical to get a reading. Thanks for your input, I'll be ordering one as soon as I get the motor up and running. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | the only thing mechanical on it is the hose clamp that secures it to the steering column. it's so simple even a cave man could do it. | | |
