Adding a tach to your 7.3 van

Sorry I didn't respond quickly. I didn't have to do anything for the abs light. Everything just worked as it should. I couldn't tell anything more. I'm glad you got it working properly, good job!

I'm hoping to do this same mod on my 1998 e250 5.4L Sportsmobile.

I'm assuming I should get as close to a 1998 f250 5.4L automatic donor dash? Anything else I should know before I start? Where did people poke the CTO cable through?

Yes you will want one with the analog odometer, same as you have now.
Check out eBay - the price of mine was very reasonable.

Read back through this thread and watch the videos. That will get you most of the way.
Biggest problem I had was getting the old odometer snapped into the new cluster. Thought for sure it would break. Use caution with that step!

It can go through anywhere really. I already had some cables running through near the steering shaft, so just added one more.

Fun project. Let us know how it goes.

Yes, as close to the same and definitely with the analog odometer. I poked mine through a rubber plug near the... steering shaft I believe.
