Scan for codes it may be a bad speed sensor or wiring issue to dash or dash itself.

I would check the electrical connector at the rear on the instrument cluster for corrosion and If that is okay here is the location for the VSS which generates the signal for the speedometer. The sensor is in the tail housing for the transfer case. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
