Can a Factory 1st Gen Tach be Install on a 1991.5 Truck

Postby Collers9640 » Fri Nov 17, 2017 2:53 pm

I converted a 1990 Gasser to a Cummins. The Dash Harness is still the 1990 Harness, The Motor And engine wire Harness are out of a 1991.5 D250 so I don’t have a crank sensor.

Is it possible to install a Factory Tach on a 1991.5.
O and just to make some people mad. I found the Tach in a D350 in a LKQ junkyard, someone took the motor and trans but left it behind. Lucky Me..

I do not believe you can run a 92/93 OEM tach on a 91.5 system. The ECM registers the signal from the CPS on the later system and then sends a signal to the tach. On the 91.5 there is no CPS, and the factory tach system was a dealer add on and was just a magnetic sensor on the balancer.

But having said that I could be wrong. If it were me I would gamble and buy an Isspro magnetic tach sensor kit and then see if I could get the OEM tach to work off that. I say this because I originally had an Isspro tach on my 89 motor with the sensor kit, but when I switched to the 93 motor and wiring I was able to use that same Isspro tach on the factory Tach wiring. ;)

There was a different tach and/or install kit for the non-ic trucks. I had a 91.0 with a mopar "factory" tach and it had a oem style crank sensor installed.
