I think what irritates me the most is the fact that aftermarket companies don't make a diesel tach to match the other gauge sets in their product lines. After my first post in this string, I really searched the internet for gauges and came up with hardly anything at all. As much as I am going for form, function, and reliability, I also want asthetics. I don't plan on dumping $15k+ into my Jeep to have a mismatched interior. It might seem trivial to some, but the 4X4 of my dreams has a very specific look. It would drive me crazy if certain things aren't a certain way. The Air Force trained to be a mechanic and to do it a specific and very neurotic way. I blame them for my neurosis. Even if I don't use the upper range on a regular tach, I can at least get one that matches the other gauges. If it works the same, then I still have a tach and can get it checked for accuracy. I am really disappointed with the whole diesel tach issue in general, especially since I wasted about 8 hours of my life reaching the end of the internet searching for Unobtainium. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but it seems like the aftermarket has ignored the diesel enthusiast in some regards. This is something that I consider very important to monitor. As of right now, with the selection being what it is, the Dakota Digital option looks the sunniest. Excuse me while I go finish having my rage induced aneurysm...
Thanks for listening to me rant.
