    hmmwv tachometer installation

    I had a pretty good lot of NOS tachs about 18 months ago (149 to be exact). It took me a year, but they are all sold. You may have success finding one on the big “e” auction site that rhymes with “pay”

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    One guy bought a tach from me early on and was going to try an install on a CUCV. I never heard back from him, so I don't know if he got it to work.

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    PDF from AM General I have a PDF from AM General showing tach signal attachment to the alternator. For some reason, I can only upload page one of the 2-page PDF to my photos. PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy. EDIT: got them separated. let me know if you still want an emailed...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Was there a need to idle the engine up while parked to provide adequate power for certain accessories associated with the ambulance? I could see a tach and a throttle lock being used for that purpose.

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Very nice work hmmwv1! I have been wondering how these hook up. Great work on the mount too. FYI I'm picking up an auction lot of GL parts soon that contains a bunch of these tachs. I'll have them listed in the parts FS forum next week. Anyone needing one can PM me.
