Your truck doesn't have a tach? I always figured that all 5 speeds came with a tach. Hmmmm.

Take care,

ive never seen any without an in-dash tach. theres a company that makes some, but they make them for gauge clusters with a tach. i cant remember their website right now, but they are always posting their products on ebay, thats where i first saw them. ill keep my eyes out and if i see them again ill let you know.

I think it's the opposite, the automatics do, does your 5 speed have a tach? oh, it may be because you have eddie bauer...? But mine is an XLT so that may be the difference.. Still haven't got them yet.

My 96 5spd doesn't have one either. Is't a eddie bauer and came with everything but that! Maybe it came with the ex-cabs?!?!
But it's a good excuse to buy a nice fat one and mount it on my dash like all these guys driving their little civic here in S.Cali.

I have a reg cab and 5 speed with a tach. I think it is a pick and choose sort of thing.

Well, the concept of a stick shift without a tach is just plain stupid to me. I love Ford, but someone wasn't thinking clearly. With an automatic, a tach is for looks, unless you're a racer. The shift points are controlled for you. With a stick, you control the shift points, with the help of a tach.

I think two of the three Pintos I owned didn't come with a tach, either, and they were 4 speeds, but other than those, I honestly can't think of a stick shift vehicle made in this country that didn't come with one. I'm sure there are dozens, but it just seems so bass ackwards.

Okay, my '66 Chevelle didn't come with a tach either, and it had a Muncie 4 speed. But, in 1966, less than 30% of the vehicles sold had automatic trannies, so maybe they figured people just knew how to drive sticks. Auto trannies were still pretty new then.

I don't know. This is going to bug me for a while.

Take care,
-Chris

my 89 is a xlt lariat and it is solid colored and pwr win/ locks Ray.
but no tach and is auto.

i had a 87 xl or custom, no options and it came with a tach. i never used it tho. you just know the shift points by listening and when racing it;s by the power band loss. at least i would think, i am not a racer.
