i didnt know that was all, it went out and im pretty sure its a ticket to have it broken, and i didnt want to get a speeding ticket sicne i couldnt tell how fast i was going, so later that day i went to ford and had them fix it. i didnt really have time to do any research.

Thats understandable... I doubt they will notice your tach was out if you got pulled over, but technically I think they could give you a ticket for it for improper equipment.

wow, I didn't know it could be that easy. It was mentioned that Ford used a different step motor after 05, but has anybody had this problem with a post 05 stang?

I have an 06, I was wondering if this has shown up after 05. Should I be expecting this in the future?

Supposebly after 05 they started using new motors so it shouldn't show up.

06es mid year and all the branded 07s are safe.
There is about a year and a half of bad clusters out there..
