K! Weird question!

I have the base model of the 98 Frontier. In my display, on the left side I have the fuel gauge, center I have the speedometer, and on the right side I have the engine temp. NO RPM GAUGE! I wouldn't think think this was that weird if I had seen other models like mine with the same type of display setup, but after surfing through numerous videos and pictures online, I haven't found one like mine yet. All of them have RPM gauges on the right side, and their temp is a smaller gauge, sitting next to the fuel gauge on the left side.

SO. Let's say, hypothetically, that someone in my situation would like to find a way to see their RPMs. Let's say, hypothetically, someone likes to listen to their music really loud and isn't always able to hear the engine. I've driven enough that I know by the feel of the vehicle when its time to shift, but it would still be nice to have a gauge. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a way to set up a gauge somewhere inside of the vehicle for the RPMs? Thanks!

i hated not having a tach in my truck. Luckily i found someone that was parting out a fronty, and sold me his tach cluster for 20 bucks.

You can change the cluster to one that has a tach, or add a tach gauge. The truck is already prewired for it.

So you have a manual yet to rpm gauge?

I remember my old auto cavalier didn't have one but it was an auto so the necesity wasn't as high as a manual.

My truck has one, but the gauge cluster went out. I don't need a tach, but a speedometer is nice.

if you need a gauge cluster.. ill sell you mine cheap.. its the basic fuel level, mph, and temp, oh and dummy lights.

I was able to plug and play the 00 model into my 98. no joke. If you want my cluster to take the tach out i'll sell it cheap. shameless plug.

The only difference I could find in the membrane was, my truck had the -4 circuit, and the one I bought had a -5 circuit. I ran the traces out and they were identical.

And I make membrane switches for a living.
