I just bought a 99 Monster conversion. The tach and speedo are not working. Also, they used a Painless 5.0 kit.

Does everyone elses tach and speedo work?

I have not really started to look at the car that much.

 

I am in the process of installing a 5.0 in a 2001 (NB). . The big difference between the 1st generation (NA) and 2nd generation (NB) is the lack of a speedometer cable in the NB model, they use an electronic signal. I used the VSS signal from the T-5 tranny and ran it through a Dakota signal converter to the speedometer input on the dash.

 

On my 2001, the tach wire is Green/orange and it connects to plug# 2 on the back of the instrument cluster (pin 2K).

The speedometer is on the same plug, the orange wire on pin 2M

 

Having same problem on my 99

 

So use the dakota speedo.
