Well depends on if the cluster went bad or if it is a HEC problem, and if they have the parts in stock.
Did you try the HEC speedo to see if that is registering anything ?

Once you enter the test mode, the first test is a gauge sweep test. That will show if the speedo is connected to the HEC as a starter.
Start the engine next I think is the step to get the motor running while in test mode, and then when you get to the selection of m that is the speed in kph rather then mph. If you drive the truck and get a reading here, is it most likely the cluster needs replacing, and should be a short job if they have it in stock.
If the HEC does not read a speed while driving at selection m, then you have another problem all together.
Good luck

the odometer works fine, ive actually put on about 2100 miles in a month so thats fine, but my speedometer sticks until i hit 10mph then it jumps up to the right spot....im hoping they can get it done quickly since im a freak when it comes to having my truck at all times

When new
Mine had a problem where the speedo would go nuts for short periods, they ordered a new instrument cluster and it took about 3 hrs to install, no more problem, they also had to give me new keys as they apparently had to reset the chip somehow??
