1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab P/U Problem

I am posting a thread for my friend Nathan. His truck is having the following problem. I am having him describe the problem below:

The first thing I noticed the ABS light, and the brake light came on when i was driving down the freeway at 70mph. Then the tachometer needle started becoming erratic in its relation to engine RPM.

When I came to the stop light after getting off the freeway, the tach stayed at 800 rpm, and the spedometer stopped working, until I hit 30mph. After 30mph the spedometer would start working, but the tach would still be erratic.

The truck has a automatic transmission, ATS triple lock commander, BD diesel exhaust brake, and that's all that I can recall at the moement.

What do you think is the problem?
