Unique situation with tachometer
Hopefully this will be allowed here, This is going to be the most knowledgeable and active forum that is related. I am attempting to put a cummins 4bt into a 2001 dodge durango. I want it to be as factory looking and working as possible. Where do the trucks with the 6bt get their tach signal from? im trying to figure out how to get the tack work on my future durango. thanks

If im not mistaken there are several options for you on this. I have never done this so don't quote me LOL but it may help in your research.
Mechanical tach driven off the injection pump nut.
Alternator
I think dakota digital is a company that helps with this as well im not sure.

Thank you. I was aware of the alternator way. but not the others. I should have asked a more specific question too. Im pretty good with electronics, as long as its simple voltage signals. My 01 durango has a lot PCI bus things. Im guessing that changes things into a frequency signal? What kind of signal does it take to run a a tach?

You could see if or maybe scrounge up a crank sensor bracket. There are tach probes you can install. Like this
