Default Problem With Tach on 06 Cummins ?

I'm having problem with the tachometer on my truck. just the other day at idel it was reading about 500 to 700 rpms( which is normal). well here lately it started wanting to run about 200 rpms idel and and at normal 60mph crusine speed its about a grain and sometimes lower. anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? by thy the wy the truck is running fine to so i don't know if its a sensor or guage problem.

I would say that you either have a connection problem somewhere or a faulty RPM gauge.

This is a problem on almost all 06's... Nothing a new cluster won't fix... If your truck is still under warranty get it to the dealer fast!

Nah, the truck is smart enough not to be past redline long if your hammering on it.
