My 96's tach needle will bounce a little and sometimes fall to 0 if I accelerate full throttle from a dead stop(this has not happened in a long time since alot of sensor and electrical parts replaced). (this next comment is a current/everyday occurrence)When going up and down hills on the highway, it will sometimes show a lower rpm than expected(about 1k lower), and during that time if I remove foot from pedal, the engine will ofcourse go back to idling as normal(which is at 1000rpm) but the tach will show 0 at idle, then at say 2500rpm it will show 1500....think it's the tach internals?
Also, when slowly easing down pedal from dead start, truck will accelerate then fall back to idle with pedal down just a tad then when pedal goes a bit further down it REALLY takes off. I may have to check another forum for this, but I'm thinking it's a bad spot in the accelerator "switch"(electronic gas pedal).
It's a '96 6.5, do we have anyone here that's any more knowledgeable on diesels than me?(which isn't saying much)
Thanks.
