prolly not, most truck tachs use the trucks ingnition computer, which your wheeler doesn't have

rev limiter is around 10,100. but they sell an ignition that u can get 11,100 out of it. if that answers ur question.

Most any small engine universal tach will work. Most just wrap a wire around the plug wire to pick up the ignition pulses.

If you're just looking for a tach for tuning purposes then one of those little tach/hour meter combos would work....
