No, there was no factory tach in the Diesel trucks. There was also no factory tachs intalled in truck after 81.
BTW, I've been to Gothenburg looking for Old John Deere 2 cylinder tractors. Do you know of any for sale in your area? Thanks, Keith

To install a tach in a diesel pickup, you need to buy a special tach made just for diesels. They will have one of two styles of rpm hookups: one is a set of magnets that glue to the harmonic balancer with a reader mounted on the engine, the other is a pickup that hooks up to the alternator and reads alternator rpms and translates that to engine rpms.
Auto-meter makes a diesel tach, as well as several other companies. Casey
