Default Speedo Strangness

Maye 3 times in the last month I've looked down and my speedo will be reading about 40mph faster than I'm actually doing. Shut the truck off and it will be sitting at like 40mph. First time it did it I figured the needle had just spun on its pin and I pulled the cluster apart and put it back to 0. Then in a bit I look down and the speedo is pointing straight down.. Turns out that if you start and shutoff the truck something like 7 times it will finally reset itself back down to zero.

Anybody have one do this? A fix?

This is common! The only fix is send it to a repair center and have it repaired. We do at least 3 of these a week here at my shop.

Mine has done this same thing twice, and the only reason I noticed it was because I got pulled over for speeding. The cop said I was doing 80 in a 60, when in fact I had the cruise control set on 70. It was fixed twice under warranty..... I am still in the process of fighting the ticket.
