Speedo Reads Wrong

My Ranger's Speedo reads correct until I hit about 70, then it says it goes up and down until I go under 70. Like it will go all the way to the little pin at the end. It is very annoying. Is it something I can fix myself or do I have to take it somewhere? Where I work they all say I have to a Speedo shop, bcuz its something not to fool around with. If I need to replace it, is there a complete Gauge kit for my year that I can replace the whole cluster with? Thanx.

LOL, that was my first thought.

Might be a bad cable or speedometer, maybe someone else can help with something to determine the cause.
