Well Sounds like a stepper motor issue. Only thing else is I have had whole not work but replaced battery and never had the issue again. It was on a 2003 2500 Avalanche and was happening in the winter. Summer worked fine the next winter started up. Replace battery and worked fine. The module devices in these trucks can be voltage sensistive. So just to see if problem you may do this. When it happens disconnect the batteries for 15secs and reconnnect. See if gauge works. if not i would say cluster stepper motor issue.

While it could be something else, the same stepper motor was used for all of the gauges. The problem seems to notoriously show up in the speedometer but it can show up on any of them.

I recently responded to someone with it showing as a speedo problem:
