Default I need a Tach!!!

My 1996 Dodge does not have a factory Tach. Could I get A gauge cluster from a another truck and just swap it in and have a tach that works?

just go into your local auto parts store and pick up one to mount onto your dash, all the instructions should come with it

ryans590 is correct...I put one in my dodge truck and you just hook up a power wire (ignition, not constant), the illumination (light) wire which could be hooked up to the power wire also or thewire that turns on the dash lights, ground, and the tach lead wire.
