ever since the purchase of our LS5 the tach has been an issue .. it worked (kind of) in the beginning until the engine got warm then it would stop .. now it never works .. the tach gear and distributor gear both look in good condition .. the cable end look OK as well ... any ideas of where to start this repair?

Dale and Abigail-----
Having checked out the tach drive gears and cable end that does not leave a lot in the system that could cause the problem. It has to be either the cable or the tachometer instrument, itself. Likely it's the latter, at this point.
To service the tach or cable you must first remove the left side instrument panel. Once this is out, you can remove the cable inner shaft from the casing. Inspect it for condition and replace if necessary. Otherwise, just clean, regrease, and re-install it. If the cable is ok, then you will need to send out the tachometer unit for professional repair and rebuild.
By the way, I received your e-mail on this subject and replied. However, the message sent on your @bright.net address was "kicked back". This is the second time that's happened. I receive a fairly large amount of questions by e-mail. If I have to "jump through hoops" to get a response back to folks because of problems with their e-mail system, I just drop it. That's why you didn't get a response on that one.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -
