Tach Dash Installation/Rebuild FAQ
This thread has been created to assist those contemplating the installation of a tach dash in their blazer, suburban or truck. Many of the same processes are used regardless if your truck was initially built with a tach, so if you are refreshing your original tach dash, simply skip a few posts and pick up where needed.
The process described below was used when adding a tach to a truck which did not include one originally. Items needed: Paint: Valspar Flat Clear - Gauge Tins Valspar Flat White - Gauge Tins Valspar Semi Gloss Black - Gauge Tins Valspar Summer Leaf (Satin) - Gauge Tins Model Master Huggar Orange - Gauge Needles Parts: Dash Bezel Front/Rear Tach Tin Gauges (Ammeter, Fuel, Oil Pressure, and Speedometer) Tachometer Tachometer Circuit Board Tachometer Lense Tachometer Wiring Harness Note: If your dash will include either an air pressure gauge, or a vacuum gauge, account for the additional pieces needed at this time. The only difference will be the added gauge and a different lense. Tools: 5/16" Line Wrench 1/4" Socket 5/16" Socket 9/16" Socket Needle Nose Pliers Phillips Screwdriver Standard Screwdriver
