- Today we show you how to install an ISSPRO classic type tachometer into an autometer gauge pod for the column mounted type in a 1st gen cummins. I was looking for something that wasn't so intrusive, and wouldn't block my field of view on the pillar or dash so this worked out and is in a great spot!
Enjoy and stay tuned for more videos.

Keep up the good videos bud. Theirs not enough technical Cummins videos on TH-cam with such thorough instructions.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this video. Install much easier after watching you perform it. Beautiful truck!
Thanks! Glad I could help.
wow if I knew it was that easy I would have done it years ago. good vid.
Yeah, the hard part would be the wiring but it's already there from the factory for 92 & 93 trucks
@@OvensGarage What about the 91 is it different
Thanks I'll look again. If not there could the sensor kit work that is offered
Beautiful truck man.....found your channel a long time ago and i thought i subscribed....and i didnt im glad i found your channel again beautiful truck.....my dream truck
Thanks a bunch, hope you enjoy the videos!
Yes very much
Is what you have in corner of the dash a GPS?
link for the column pod? i have a 88 d100 i think it should fit
would a 91.5 intercooler first gen have one or just the 92 and 93?
Is there a way of changing the buzzing noise to something more enjoyable for the wait to start and door open?
Do you have a photo of the instructions that is a little clearer? please
Since they discontinued this gauge what would you recommend to go with now
Thanks for the video I'm doing the same as soon as the parts show up. what did you end up doing to get the light assy to fit in the pod? I know u cut the tube off but what was the end product?
I didn't show it because it wasn't exactly perfect, but we ended up just zip tying the bulb assembly to the back of the housing. The light wasn't inside of the gauge housing but close enough that the light still was bright enough to light up the face of the gauge. If you end up cutting off the back part of the bulb housing on the gauge let me emphasize the importance of not using anything that will create metal filings as you do not want to get them inside the gauge housing as it will ruin the performance of the gauge.
Wish that fit all first gens mines 84 column mount different
Found the oem plug. But it is already connected to something what next
I could not find this column pod on auto meter...the only one says it’s for 94-02 and looks identical you said this is for first and second gen but the autometer answers to people asking if it would fit a first gen all say no... it looks like it would fit but I don’t know if I want to risk it for 45$...
Is it just for 92 & 93 for the factory wiring harness? I have a 91 and I have been wanting to put a tach on for a while. And can you put some links for the items that you purchased ?
From what I have learned online, it's pretty rare to find non-intercooled trucks with the wiring harness already there. Just take a look under your dash to see if the factory plug is there for the optional tach, if not then you will have to run your own harness for the crank position sensor.
Im installing same setup on my 93 and chopped the back of the gauge for the bulb also,how to you get the bulb to mount into the gauge
though?
If I remember correctly I think I just put a dab of RTV to hold it in place...not entirely happy with the way it's setup but it works and it hasn't fallen apart on me yet... haha
Does the intercooled 91.5 have the same harness as the 92 and 93?
James Weber I can't say for sure, I know the earlier version has a square type connector and the later years have the flat four pin connector.
I have a 1993 w250 and I can't find the factory Orem plug for the tachometer how far up the steering column is it and what do you do if it's not there already got the isspro r8501 tach and harness
larry batta Check out the part of the video where I go underneath the dash. Mine was taped to a thick part of the wiring harness, your might be covered but keep searching it should be there! If it isn't you will have to do some further research and how to hook it up.
Doing this mod soon, does the gauge dim with the rest of dash lights?
Yes. The gauge didn't come with a light however I installed my own LED light to match the rest of my gauge lights. LED's in general don't dim very well but it still does dim with the rest of the dash lights.
Great vidya boss. Does the isspro classic COME with that small light socket or did you order that separately along with the LED?
If I remember right I had to order the harness separately.
@@OvensGarage thanks man, I’ll start looking around
is your tach correct in your idle being set at 500? isn't that a bit low?
Factory recommendation is 800rpm, says it right on the side of the timing case on the motor. I like to set mine just past the point so nothing is rattling in the cab, so probably aroun 600-650. As long as it isn't too low and you have good oil pressure I'd say it's fine. I'd keep the idle up higher though when warming up in cold weather.
The only rpm that nothing rattles in my cab is 0. Yea I am going to mess around with it a little I currently have it at 850
I just hooked this up in my truck made my own harness with some wire, and also my light bulb holder only had 2 black wire coming out of it. I had to guess when hooking it up which one goes to which connection. When I fire up the truck the tach bumps up a bit and then stays at zero, could the bulb wiring effect the power to the gauge itself?
There is also the potential that your CPS may not be working correctly as that is where the signal for the tach comes from.
@@OvensGarage it was wierd I changed a fuse around and the tach worked but but not right. Would only read up to 1500rpm and wasn’t very accurate
It doesn’t look like you were able to bolt the gauge to the pod! Does it just slide in and stay put? Thx!
Yeah it’s just pushed in there. Had to modify the light pod a bit just to get it to fit. It’s snug. Hasn’t come loose or caused me any issues since install.
Did you not say in the video to use adhesives? :s lol
Did your tach come with magnets?
I don't think so
I hooked this tach up in my 92 and when I start the truck it pegs out at 4k and won't move. It will return back to 0 when you shut it off. Any ideas?
Sounds like it's hooked up wrong. Check the signal coming from the CPS.
mind dropping the link for where you bought it
Can be found at Genos Garage!
what pin is which on that bad boy, I'm gonna add it to mine
Take a look through the video I show a quick diagram of where the wires get hooked up to. Hopefully that helps.
Tyler Ovens oh crap thanks, im hoping that they are the same on my truck looks like the connectors are kinda different on my 90 d250, thanks though man
@@VileStorms how different?
@@QuackSuperStar well i sold it, but it was a complete different connector if i remember right
Is there a part number for the bulb? Need a bulb, thank you.
I just used a standard T10 style base bulb with an LED of my choice, I had to get a socket to fit it as well. Any parts stores will have these.
@@OvensGarage thank you! Did you solder the the black wire from the gauge, the light both to the black on harness? I’m trying to figure out the order. It seems like one connection has two solders
need 4k
I’ve been using this tach now for quite a while with the getrag manual trans. I can say my rpms I usually shift around 2000-2500, and when I’m cruising at highway speeds I’m at 1700. I rarely ever go over 2500. Even with the 3200 spring.
part number R8503

Thanks!
