Every GP I've ever seen short of my current TGP has done this. I'm actually surprised that the TGP's cluster is working perfectly.

Hi just adding my 2 cents...mine does not jump around, however it does respond to any engine speed accurately.

When the senders start going bad, they will be jumpy. They can be that way for a long time before, if ever, they crap out.
