    Aftermarket tach troubles

    I have an 02 f150 hd and i ordered an aftermarket glowshift tach gauge to go on my pod and i dont know where to hook the green wire, it says to connect to the tach signal wire behind the cluster but i dont know which color wire to connect it to, any ideas?

    Nothing is wrong with it but my dad liked the way the 3 gauge pod looked so for the 3rd gauge he ordered a tach, and i saw somewhere on here pictures of a truck that did the same thing and i wanted to ask about the wire but i forgot who it was.

    Can't help with the wire. Are you revving above Dash tach? Cause if not I would suggest selling the tach gauge. And getting a more important gauge. Like aero force if you don't have one yet.

    rather have a wideband, aeroforce, water temp, fuel pressure, oil pressure...anything but a tach there

    but to answer your question, the first result on google for "f150 tach wire" is this guide for a 2002 f150 -
