Aftermarket tachometer? Are they available for 1010 Crawlers? If so, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated.

I installed a Sunpro 2 5/8 tach from a local auto parts store in my 1010 gas. It hooks up with 4 wires (12v, ground, allumination, and one wire to the negative side on the coil)

I just installed an hour meter too.

There are aftermarket Tachometers available that are called "diesel tachs" that use a sensor attached to the alternator. I just got one off eBag for my '92 Dodge CTD, it is made by "AutoGauge" and is only a 0-6000 dial. Most likely will not work with a generator. You would need a photo-tach to calibriate it.

Yeah, that type of diesel tach needs a tap put into the alternator's stator. No stator in a generator.

92 Dodge shouldn't needed it though. 92 Dodge Cummins is the first year that already has a built in tach sensor in front of the engine - at least the intercooled version does.
