My truck is doing the same thing. I've been told it is caused by a bad stepper motor in the cluster. You can replace the whole cluster, or have someone replace the stepper motor.

Could also be the connections at the back of the IC. You may want to pull it out and check them.

There have been guys who have replaced the IC. They must be VIN programmed by the dealer with the correct mileage.

could have sworn i saw on here before were someone tried to have a dealer reprogram the gauges and they wouldn't do it. my tach does the same thing, does anybody else's get stuck between 5 and 6 grand when you floor it and then spin the opposite way to rest on the bottom of the pin? mine has done it a couple times. it will right itself after a couple days tho. just one of those things, it's not a major issue, just more annoying than anything.
