2001 tacoma with no tachometer

My relative just bought a 2001 tacoma today. The truck has no tachometer. If I could find a junkyard tacoma that has the full gauge cluster, is swapping them out plug and play? I dont want to mess anything up.

He throws down!!!

 

You mean there is a hole in the existing dash where a tach was?

Individual instruments can be swapped on the cluster frame AFAIK. So while you might have to buy a whole cluster to get a tach, you should be able to install the tach in the existing cluster.

But there are questions.............

1) why is it missing?

2) is the OE wiring there and not mangled?

3) does your grandmother really need a tach?

4) how about a blank piece of sheet metal to fill the space, but do something artistically creative with that filler?

 

Standard base model 4 cylinder standard cabs to my knowledge don't have a tach...my 99 standard cab 2.7 doesn't anyway I got temp, speed and gas lol

 

yes this is what it has. I thought i read on here you can swap easily

 

chuck norris can slam a revolving door.

 

95mph. 4 banger justa screamin.

 

I added a tach my ol' '86 B2000. Think I paid $25 for it. The picture was taken rather low so it really wasn't much in the way of the speedo...just looks like it is in the pic.

 

Dash is a direct swap.
