[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 164448, member: 8590"] ^^I have never yet seen a UPS truck with a tach. This was brought up by me once when my throttle cable broke out on the road and I was about 8 miles from any sort of civilization. The mechanic on te phone asked me if I could tie opent he throttle with my shoe lace to make it back since I was done for the day. I agreed to do it since I am some what knowledgeable with cars. The mechanic asked me to tie it open at X,000 rpms and in turned I asked how the heck am I supposed to know wht that is if 1) I am nder the hood fixing the thing and 2) there is no tach in the truck. If you are worried about a tach for shifting reasons, then being such a proficient manual driver, then you would know that you can drive a 5-spd on sound alone. [/QUOTE]
