Not sure about the Cummins, but my Cat runs the tach off the flywheel sensor. I replaced that a couple of years ago when it failed. As for engine damage, if the failed tach is the entire problem with nothing underlying, then quit worrying and run the truck. Pay attention to the engine and don't lug it.
My RPM gauge won't work. Please help!

I ran with a broken Tach on my 2001 Cat C15 for almost a month. It went out on a load I was running to Portland OR. The dealer said it wouldn't hurt anything, so I ran with it until I got back home to my local shop. In my case it was a mechanical piece inside the tach,...... nothing on the electronic side.
With the amount of time you have driving, It would surprise me that you still look at it while shifting.JolliRoger and Dave2014 Thank this. -

If he has been driving as long as he claims, he would not have even asked the question.
