speedo needle sits way low!!

[05norcal150]

Alright, ill start off by thanking anyone who helps in advance. Last week while changing one of the bulbs in my cluster I must have touched the speedo needle in the wrong way because now when I'm at a stop it points down all the way to my gear selection on the dash...how can I reset it so that its fixed??

I'm not sure without pulling the needle and repositioning it. Is your speedo still accurate or is it off?

Its 15mph +/- 1 or 2 slow...but it works fine other than sitting way low...here's a pic of my actual needle while the truck is at an idle in park

Ya I'd pull the needle and reposition it. A fork works good as a removal tool.

You dont have a peg for it to sit on? Hmm.... Did you try putting it to zero and see if it stays?

I have done the needle movement trick, but those were on our dummy gauges (oil pressure, temp, etc) so its impossible to tell if your speedo will read incorrect. I say do that as a last resort.

I did move it to zero and it only stayed for about 20 mins then it slowly dipped down to where it sits now
