The Diesel Tachometer delivers clear, real-time RPM monitoring for diesel applications where dependable engine speed data matters. Designed to work with alternator signals (R or W terminal), crank sensor inputs, or magnetic pickup sensors, it integrates cleanly across a wide range of diesel builds and setups. A precision stepper motor keeps the needle smooth and steady, giving you accurate, easy-to-read RPM data without bounce or guesswork. Built with a durable housing and solid aluminum bezel, it’s made for real driving conditions and long-term use. Made in the USA and backed for life.

Track-Tested. USA-Built. Backed for Life.

Key Features:

  • Diesel Signal Compatibility — supports alternator (R/W), crank sensor, and magnetic pickup inputs
  • Accurate RPM Monitoring — real-time engine speed tracking under load
  • Flexible Installation — integrates cleanly across a wide range of diesel applications
  • Microprocessor-Driven — real-time accuracy
  • Stepper Motor Precision — smooth, accurate pointer
  • Weather-Resistant Build — built for street, track, and off-road
  • Made in the USA — backed by a lifetime warranty

We recommend hooking up your diesel tachometer to either the alternator R or W terminal, crank sensor signal, or magnetic pulse sensor.

  1. To calibrate it, while hold the button down start the engine. The pointer to move to 1k rpm when in calibration
  2. Next, move the pointer to where your idle is by holding the button down. If you release and hold down again, it will move the other direction.
  3. Release the button, and after a few seconds the pointer will go to 0 and then current rpm.
  4. Your calibration is done! It is permanently stored in memory.
  5. This can be done multiple times if needed.
Built to last. Backed for life.
