Hi. Does anyone know the brand and where I might be able to purchase
the tach generator on a DD 6V92. It looks like a mushroom with 2 wires
and is located on the engine near the valve covers

Thanks a bunch

Since you did not give your location, it is hard to be specific,
however, any Detroit dealer/distributor should be able to fulfill your
need. Also Most speedometer shops carry all kinds of instrumentation
and related senders. I have usually found them to be the most
economical.

I believe that George is on the right track. If they are the senders
with one end capped (cable in/out), I have used vehicle speed
sensor/senders I raided out of Prince On Board Computers, they were
also used as cruise-control speed sensors.

Otherwise there is always the old BlueBird parts department, ...

I am near Missoula, MT. The DD dealer here could not provide any
assistance, and Earl at BB was at a lose.

I bought mine from Holland Motorhomes in Holland, MI.

It was a used part.

I would bet that a Detroit Dealer worth its salt would be able to
find you one.

What is your tach doing?

The tach is dead. The shaft on the generator unit broke. Thanks-

Here are a few ideas:

http://www.ptcpower.com/inventory_detroit_engines.aspx

http://www.clarkedda.com/

http://www.detroitdiesel.com/index.asp

http://www.scharfco.com/default.htm

This last one would be my favorite place to shop for great used
parts. They have been in business a very long time and are honorable.

If it's the little drive tang, it is just an insert. The insert /
adapter pin should be available from a speedometer shop. I might not
be thinking of the right sender though, ... call Ken at HMH in
Holland and he might be able to get one for you.
