Erratic Tach

I recently just finished dealing with a bunch of problems on my rig, now as i was driving my Tachometer starting bouncing all over the place, but no change to the engine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had the same issue with my 87 so at the suggestion of Conanski I went to the boneyard and pulled one for $10. It is just a plug and play installation. If you cannot find one I will pull one for you. My truck is a 5.0L with a redline of 5,700. There are several at the boneyard but a lot have no redline only maxing out at 6,000 RPM.

You did not provide the year which is very important.

Take care

P.S. Depending on the year you do NOT have to pull the entire cluster only the trim around the Cluster and the plastic lens. It is a quick fix.
