Is the truck charging? Your tachometer is fed by data provided by the crank position sensor which could have resulted from something like a increased air gap between the balancer and sensor or possibly the wire came unplugged at the front of the head.

What gasket was replaced. Sounds like the ckp sensor is unplugged, bad or not gapped correctly.
