It could be. What year is your truck? 1992-up have a totally different system than older trucks.

If it's a 92-96 than do a search for "bad PSOM" thats a common problem and you'll easily find you answer. If it's 91 and older, it's probably the little plastic gear in the tranny for the speedo.

The PSOM is probably dying, but pull the ABS sensor out of the rear diff and clean any metal filings off the magnetic tip. If there are a lot, you've probably cured it; if it's already clean, start shopping for a used PSOM (speedometer) or complete cluster. The PSOM should go for $20-40 and a whole cluster (non-tach) $40-60, (tach) $50-80.
