I always wondered the same thing, does the GM CV harness have a tach output???

I always wanted a digital dash, but usually these dash units come with the parking/Drive display on the front, because of the transmission shift stick. We already have this next to the center console shift stick. Does yours have it on the cluster display. If you can post picks this would help.

I don't believe the GM has a tach signal, '06 is first year with dash tach. Plus the Marauder speedometer does not have a gearshift indicator, it is only on console. I'm sure swap can be done but it won't be easy. You could swap in a CV dash cluster from a P71 with 140 MPH speedometer and then install white face kit applied to that cluster. Just without a tach, but then again you could use the Marauder fuel and temp gauge on left, tach on right and white faced P71 140 speedo in middle so you have the gearshift indicator. You would lose the temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge, but they both are fakes. There is still red idot lights in dash for problems.

I have been thinking about swapping it in my GM also. If you try it make sure to let us know. Good Luck !!
