Get a build sheet for your truck. If you have the offroad addition, they came stock with 4.10 gears... so, your tach WILL read higher than mine. Not sure by how much. (too lazy to hit the calculator. 
) You can get a build sheet from any dodge dealer, or, there is a thread in the FAQ section with a link for email request.
Vibration might be a low speed miss too...... Mine would feel absolutely horrible when TCC engaged when I was having some ignition problems.

On the bottom of the intake manifold, there is a steel plate, the covers a big hole. (from the way the manifold was cast.) The gasket on that steel plate likes to give up, and you develop a massive vacuum leak. It sucks oil out of the valley under the intake, and ends up fouling plugs.
Take a look down your throttle body, and see if there is oil pooling in there. You might have to pull the throttle body, and peak around with a mirror, and flashlight if it isn't too bad.
Mine was REALLY bad.

Went to the local shop and hooked up to the scan tool. Put a gage in the trans cooler lines and did a TCC stall test. During the test the TCC sol is engaged while the trans is in D. If every thing is working proper the pressure in the trans cooler line should increase and the TC should lock up and stall the motor. I saw no pressure increas and the engine did not stall. This indicates a that the TCC sol is recieving the signal from the controler but is not sending fluid pressure to the TCC. Therefore there is something wrong with the TCC sol, or the oriface in the valve body plate is plugged. Time to pull out the Valve body and give it a cleaning as well as check the TCC sol. Thanks for the advice Guys.
