I have a 99 Cavi as most know, and its a manual...it doesnt come with a stock tach does anyone know if you can buy one from GM that comes with one installed and install it and make it work? I would really like to know thanks

my bro got one from a auto from e-bay and it worked fine, but it was an '96. and u can no longer buy calusters thru gm. i work at a chevy dealership and we get them thru AJR internaitol. we mainly only do exchanges. but i maybe wrong. oh and

so how do u switch them up? is there a wire behind the dash or do u have to buy a kit for the tach?

u may have a problem with the thef system. if it won't start wait for the thef light to stop flashing then try again. your comptuer have to learn the new cluster.

i thought if you have a digital cluster (the miles meter?? is digital) then you can just get a cluster with the same year and tach and plug it in and it should work

Only in 2000 and up. In 98 and 99 with the digital odometer, the mileage is stored in the cluster, and the only way to have the new one show the correct mileage is to send it out and get it reprogrammed.

if you guys are trying to install aftermarket tachs in cars w/ out factory tachs, i believe you need to buy a tach adapter to be able to hook it up. otherwise, the tach wire is the purple/white wire in the PCM (passenger side kick panel)
