    Tach looks pretty steady to me. Not something I'd worry about.

    I too hear something though. Sounds like an exhaust leak. Maybe a miss? Kinda hard to tell.

    nothing wrong with rpm. the gauge is not accurate plus there can be little up and down of rpm. its acceptable. do valve adjustment and use good fuel.

    Sounds like a stuck open exhaust valve. Take rocker cover off and inspect valve lash.

    If you don’t know where the valve cover is do not attempt to work on your truck. Take it to a mechanic.
