WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60 MPH AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO ZERO. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN THE SPEEDOMETER WENT AROUND PAST THE 120 MPH ON THE GAUGE. I DID GET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO BY STARTING AND THEN TURNING THE IGNITION OFF QUICKLY. I CONTINUED TO DO THESE BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD FALL APROX 5 MPH EVERY TIME THAT I DID THIS. IT TOOK ABOUT 12 TIMES TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO. THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH MY 2004 GMC. I HAVE ABOUT 29000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. *JB
