ignition/tach issue?
Randomly when my wife starts the truck, the truck seems to have a hard turning over.. then when it starts, the tachometer needle jiggles at the zero mark for a few seconds, then fully engages. She says she can momentarily hear a rapid clicking sound from the instrument cluster when this "jiggling" occurs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds a lot like a bad connection
- battery cable
- ground
- other wiring
I'm leaning towards the battery because you say it has a hard time starting -- I'm taking that to mean that it turns over slowly.
That's all I've got. There are a lot of guys around here who know more, but you'll probably do better if you tell us :
1. year and model
2. engine
3. Exact details about 'hard time starting'
