I figured out that it basically HAD to be the gauge cluster, as the problem became intermittent depending on ambient temp... Sometimes it "worked" but read double like stated, and most of the time it didn't read anything.... On a 950 mi. Trip. The truck logged only ~300... Sorry if its not helpful, but I would bet my money on the gauge is bad inside... But couldn't rationalize replacement as everything else works, even fuel level!

Thanks for the info, is the item in question behind the speedo serviceable/replaceable? Or is it simply a "new cluster needed" type of repair? (I still haven't fixed it...)

Is it a motor? Or actuator? Or magnetic thingie(<~~~lack of tech term)?
