Yes, you can install an aftermarket tach in your truck. I have a 94 2.3L that I put a tach in. I will take a look at the wiring harness, to see where the tach pick up is, if you would like.

The tan/yellow wire carries the RPM signal. You can find it at the PCM, at the Ignition Control Module, at the back of the cluster or under the hood at the tachometer service connector (may be labeled CTO).

Have fun finding the wire it is very small. make sure that if you splice the wire with the little red splicers that come with the kit make sure it goes all the way through.
