ISSPRO Tachometer Sensor Kit 89-91 Dodge 5.9L Cummins
Description
Overview
If you're trying to install a tachometer into your early 1st Generation Cummins, then you will need this simple tach installation kit to go along with your tach. In order to install, you'll use the included glue to secure the two magnets to your vibration dampener, then use an oil pan bolt to mount the sensor. This kit is NOT designed for use on the intercooler 1991.5-1993 Ram trucks.

Q&A
- Well this work with a autometer tach ...the tach came with the alternator sensor but I wanting something cleaner looking
- It will not, from my understanding that sensor for the alternator measures the magnetic field of the alternator as it gets stronger or weaker. This kit will not provide that same signal. -Sands
- have a 1999 that am swaping in a 12 valve need a cam sensor to make tack work
- 99 model trucks use the crank sensor for the tach signal. -Marcus
- I have a 6.2 chevy diesel. Im putting a factory tach from like a c50 or c60 in my pickup. I didn't wanna off the alternator so i bought a oil pump drive rpm sensor. Gm part number is 7849305. Im trying to wire it up but im not for sure how. The reason is, is that the sensor is a 2 connector and the tach has 3 connectors. One for ground the other ones are coil and 12v. I was told the rpm sensor put ac voltage and the tach read dc voltage and i needed a ac to dc converter.
- With what you have going on, I would suggest shooting the techs at ISSPRO a call. 800-888-8065 -Ben

- RE: ISSPRO tachometer sensor kit Can I purchase the magnets separately? I have the kit but no magnets. My kit has the number ISR8901, which I purchased locally.
- Yes part number R8911, it is not on our site but we can special order. It is a 2 magnet kit with adhesive for 28.49 plus shipping. DppSands
