My first guess would be the rear axle speed sensor since this is a known problem with Dodge Trucks. When mine went out the speedometer would work, but not until you hit about 25 mph or so. Also it cause the ABS light to stay on. It's an easy fix. About 36 bucks for the part at the dealer and takes about 10 minutes to change out. It's located top center just to the front side of the rear axle. Just unplug the wires, unscrew the bracket and pull the old one out. Reverse the process to install the new one.

If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, I would suspect the dash cluster is at fault. If both speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the speed sensor on the transmission is at fault.
