Rpm gage works erratically

Whats the build date of your truck?? Sounds like a cam/crank sensor. If your have a 2001.5 or newer its the cam sensor and its located on the back of the front cover just under the injection pump.
If its older than a 2001.5 its the crank sensor thats located on the side of the engine block just above the starter.
Skip the dodge dealer and go to cummins for a cheaper part. Or order online from a diesel store.

Should throw a code, too....check 'em.
And when you go to a Cummins parts house, save yourself troubles by writing down your trucks CPL number, its a 4 digit # on the engine tag behind the IP in the little box marked CPL (Control Parts List).
This will ensure you get the correct part the first time.
