Tach not working

I have a 1993 f250 turbo diesel and the tach doesn't work, it's stuck at 500. Are the 93's gear and line tachs or electronic?

Electronic. The sensor is right beside the engine oil filler cap. Looks like a big hex nut with two wires coming from it. However if gauge stuck at all times would sound more like a gauge problem.
