Auto Meter Z Series Diesel Tach Install | First Gen Cummins

Welcome back! In this video I show you how to install an Auto Meter Z Series Diesel Tachometer into a First Gen Cummins. If you were buying one of these trucks back in the day, you would have been able to add a dealer tachometer option. Since my truck doesn't have one, I came across the Z Series Tachometers by Auto Meter Competition Instruments that look fairly similar to the original dealer options. This process can be applied to any diesel truck out there and it is an elegant solution if you want to install a tach. Enjoy!

This helps. Gotta intall a tach on my skid steer. Was a Wisconson 4 cylinder. Previous owner swapped in a Deutz 2 cylinder. Been wanting to stick a Tach on it for months, finally found the Auto Meter. Just needed more info. Sweet truck by the way.

Happy you chose to use 3m tape to mount it. I like it when pilots listen to their FEs. Lol....also, great idea with trick-f**king the tach. I'd have done the same.

I'm wondering how you found such a clean 12v, especially in BC, must have cost two kidneys lol
Gonna be using this video to put a tach on my 6.9 IDI, thank sir!

You had to trick the tack because you had it set wrong for the DTA, the tach needs to be in 8 cyl mod as the DTA emits 4 pulses per revaluation. It docent specifically say what to set the tach too in the instructions you kind of have to back your way into it. hope this helps

Lol! You have gauges that actually work? I'm down to Amps guage only. Looking into gps speedo and tach, egt and oil pressure
