Hi the tacometer in my challenger is not healty.
Sometimes it read 2500rpm in 55mph
Somtimes it reads 4000 in 55mph.
Is there somthing to do with that?
Tanks.

Sounds like it needs to be recalibrated. There are a couple of gauge restoration shops that are good with Mopar parts if you decide to go that route.

Another route would be to buy new internals from RTE. A little DIY project.

Welcome to the site John  :wave:
I have done a number of the RTE kits , easy to do but you must have the calibration tool to set it correctly also sold by RTE
