Congrats on the truck!! Pics?

As for your issues...I'm no expert but from what I've read on the site I'd think it is you PCM/ECM. This control almost everything on the 92/93's.

charging problem could be the ecm. i would get the alternator checked at ur local parts store before you either get a rebuilt ecm or put and external regulator in. if you put and external regulator on look in the stickys for how to wire it in

Sounds like your engine speed sensor. It's mounted to the top of the crank pulley. Set the gap at .050. If it still doesn't work, make the gap smaller in increments until it does. As a last resort, buy a new sensor, Cummins 3924432

I would order it from Cummins. Look in the sticky's for a part#. $60.00 as opposed to $140.00
