My tacho dont work......

Post by mattsluxtruck »

Hi ya all hows it hanging?
Another drama with the evil lux just wondering does anyone out there know how to get the factory 2.8d tacho working with the holden v8 ive installed? I would be nice to get it back in the dash as having a non functioning standard tacho and an aftermarket one screwed in front of it looks pretty silly.
Cheers guys
Matt

is the tacho doing anything? or does the needle not move?

If the needle moves but is wrong, get a converter box from marks 4wd adaptors. 4 wires to connect and its all good

Nah tacho aint doing anything not even sure on whether the inpulse hookup is the same between petrols and diesels seeing as though im trying to run a diesel tacho off a petrol motor. Pretty poor seeing as though im an electrician hey! If i send my dash over to you adrian what am i looking at to get it recalibrated? I dont mind sending stuff away for quality service.Any help much appreciated i bought this truck registered and engineered but i would call it half finished.
Cheers Matt
