speedometer issues

Driving along Hwy 90 going west at about 70-75 mph, the speedometer shot up about 25 mph while my speed didn't increase. Is the speedometer controlled electronically or is there a mechanical drive? Any tips to fix this would be appreciated. When the truck was turned off, the needle sat about 25 mph high.

Electrical only. Diagnosis would be to monitor speed with a scan tool or some way of reading live data. If the readings are correct on the live data then I'd suspect the cluster.
