    Are you using the older truck one or did you do the 3 wire LS one? You add that resistor yet, I'm curious to seehow that turns out.

    I am using the factory 05' 2 wire sender for the PCM and the factory 94' 2 wire for the instrument cluster. I am going to pick up the resistor at radioshack in the morning and will post the results.

    yes the resistor is the fix. worked perfect for me. i tried driving without it hooked up and the tach did nothing. pulled over, tied the resistor in and bam, tach started working like it should. and its accurate too.
    Like Tumbler in "Gone in 60" I'll drive anything with wheels or without

    That resistor did the trick. My tach works great now, now all I have to do is fix the temp sender so my guage will read correctly.

    Good job. I still have not gotten my tach to work. And I set it up the way LT1swap recommend it.

    Thanks Art, haven't heard from you in a long time, I was wondering if you were still even on here. I got everything working except the temp gauge, it reads about 300 degrees. I was going to pick up a new factory sensor tomorrow, but I got con'd into working weekend duty for aircraft to fly sorties on Monday, this is the downfall of living in Base housing, nearest to work gets to work. I will just get the wife to pick one up for me and drop it off at work.
