I think the tach is the only thing that requires signal from the PCM.

Experiment. Plug an o-scope into the tach wire, and see what kind of signal it is putting out.

Yeah, I know, not many folks have scopes any more..... Might contact Dodge Cares, and see if they can come up with anything for ya. DC Canada actually has a rep that's a member here.....

The both use the same cluster..... so, signal should be the same. After all, it's just telling the cluster how far to move the needle.
