Oh, and also the dash got a nice crack above the cluster. What years are the same? Sorry for the noob questions. Edit - also if anybody has any new member threads for posting pictures, etc

Hm, all very interesting, thanks for the quick replies fellas. I'll check the belt when I get home from work later tonight. I'm not sure what the RPM is but it's really high. Sure doesn't sound like 1800-2200. Sounds more like 3,000, or even higher. I'd love to have a tach and clock on the dash. Would I be able to install them or would I have to swap the whole thing out? im guessing I'll need to swap it out rather than install the clock and tach. Then I'll have to figure out the odometer. Member 84720FourWheel - I'll send you a PM. Thanks

Hello everyone, first post, trying to navigate this site a bit and learn the website. Recently I inherited a 1986 Nissan 720 pickup. It has the Z24 motor, 5 speed, 239,000 original miles, PS/AC all works great along with everything else, and it's been starting to show its age over the last several years. My other truck is a 2007 Ford Ranger 2WD, 6" lift and 35's and a bunch of other goodies. Issue #1 On every startup the darn thing revs very high. Much more than I would consider "normal" so with this thing having a carb (I'm better with FI) maybe there's something I can do about it or just leave it alone. If I tap the gas every 20 seconds or so it slightly goes down until it's normal. I'm not sure if this is normal on these trucks, I'm still learning. Issue #2 Battery light is flickering and I can hear some kind of solenoid clicking down on the passenger side but I can NOT find what's causing it. It'll tick intermittently until it clicks one last time and the battery light is off. Issue #3 Under the hood up against the fender about halfway along the engine bay there's a relay/solenoid that clicks nonstop while driving. You can hear it inside the cabin. I've tried chasing the wires but some disappear and I can't find where they go to. It doesn't affect the drivability of the truck at all. Issue #4 The cluster does not have a tach, I was wondering if any Nissan/Datsun pickups had clusters with tach's that you can swap out like I can in my Ranger. The little capped spots on the cluster look too suspicious.
