Tachometer on 2003's

[Double 6]

Have they improved the markings any? Instead of the goofy 125 RPM increments, did they do it right and make them 100 RPM increments?

Good call!

For Pete's sake - who thought 125 RPM increments was a good idea? It would more closely match the speedo if it were marked at 100 RPM increments. I'd like to get my hands on that designer! No engineer in his right mind would make it that way by choice! Thanks for letting me rant. I hope they got it right in '03.

I have to agree

Tach graduations at 125rpm are ridiculous, whoever though of this should get some type of award like a clock with markings at 12:00, 1:15, 2:30, etc.

 

[Ethdee]

No, the clock markings should be 12:05, 12:06. 25, 12:07. 5, etc. I've never seen another tach design like that. It makes no sense.

Funny there hasn't been a thread on this yet (to my knowledge) in the 2nd gen forum. I'm a little embarassed to admit I didn't notice it right away when I bought my truck, it took awhile for me to notice that 1800 was actually 1750.

There was a thread some time back, but it petered out quickly. It's the most frustrating thing on the truck, having to 'calculate' the RPM. It should be intuitive, as it would be with 100RPM increments. Yeah, it's probably the bright idea of some junior dashboard designer... . and he and his bosses should be smacked upside the head for screwing it up!

Funny that this never bothers me. Guess when glancing at the RPM's I get the general idea. You could be an 89 to 93 and have no tach whatsoever. (from the factory)

 

[Un-Hemi]

Yeahbut, when ya ordered the factory tach, at least in '93, ya got 100RPM increments! Been there. Had that.

I bought an '02 1500 for the bride. Dodge finally got the tach right.

1500s have been right.

My wife has a '00 1500 quad cab and it is marked correctly with 100 rpm increments.



Just a cruel joke on the Cummins drivers.
