Question Speedometer Problems?

Hey ya'll, I am a new member here and this is my first thread. I have a 2005 F150 King Ranch that has a speedometer issue. All the gauges work, except occasionally when I decelerate the speedo wont drop below 40 or 50 mph. After sitting for a while (vehicle off) it sometimes drops to 0. Problem is when driving and it stops at say 50mph, this becomes my start point. So, when my speedo says 100mph I am actually doing 50mph. I pulled the cluster and spun the needle by hand with no resistance. Put it back in and no problems for 1 day. Today...same problem. I dont know if its a speed sensor or the cluster going bad. I want to avoid the dealership if possible and fix it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

The dealer will pull the cluster and send it to a repair center.

you may be able to find a stepper motor for the speedo somewhere, but i would suggest taking it to the dealer for a new cluster.
