They get goofy after 130-150k miles on the trucks I've had. Make sure you check all the connections, it helps to have a good wiring diagram. You will see an orange wire in a large harness connector under hood near trans dipstick tube, that IIRC is the signal wire from trans to speedo head. It goes other places too, so diagram is a must.
