Default What happened??

I was driving my 95 dakota down the road and my tach started jumping back and forth. soon after it shut down and won't turn back on now. it attempts to but just can't turn over all the way. any ideas?

By "it", do you mean the truck or the tach?

Broken timing chain or belt? You need to include more info, btw.

By won't turn back on what do you mean? Does it turn over but won't fire or is it just dead? My first guess would be your alt or a bad ground. Check your batteries connections.
