Ive got a buddy with a 99 Ranger. He says at times the tach will run up around 5/6000 and all the gauges will spike up and peg out (top of the gauge). If he taps on the plastic in front of the gauges they go back to normal. My 84 has done this before, but usually tapping on the brakes will bring everything back to normal. As far as my buddies Ranger, he is thinking about hitting the JY and getting a new cluster. Is this his problem, or is there something else going on? Thanks.

Electrical connection problem or a short somewhere would be my guess.
