The next time you drive the truck, take the palm of your hand and slap the dash above instrument cluster.

If the speedo starts working, I see a replacement instrument cluster in your future.

Or if you are handy and it has stepper motors, they are really cheap! Some places on line offer the service, Probably $500 or so to replace the cluster and have it programmed.

op’s cluster doesn’t use those cheapo stepper motors

And it doesn’t need to be programmed . . . it’s not even a control module

It has an analog odometer, as well
