The digital odometer reading turns off. If I bang the top of the dash most of the time if comes back on. Sometimes it doesn't.
That may be a different problem. My Jeep does this, and I've found if I wiggle the ignition it comes back on. I can't remember what it's called, but there's a spring, or something in there. I just deal with it. My AC/heat fan also doesn't work when the odometer doesn't...and the air bag light comes on.

Thats what mine was doing. The guys at Rapid Transit in Austin fixed me right up. Apparently a common problem. They can also upgrade to LEDs if you want to spend a little extra.

It sounds just like what mine was doing... it was a couple of “broken” solder connections.... I have a 2002 gmc 2500.... that whole cluster comes out relatively easy... I would suggest taking it out and see if an electronic repair shop would re-solder it for you... See link below
On mine the some of the pins he re-solders at the 6:00 minute mark were loose due to bad solder connection.... All I did was touch up the solder and got it working

Wow, not sure how I got the link above or how it's what I pasted on here but it's obviously wrong... Let me try this one more time... This link shows the exact problem my dash display was having and what actually fixed it.

This may be irrelevant but I had an 04 Sierra that was doing something similar. I just lived with it for about 2 years until I mentioned to my neighbor about getting a ticket because my speedometer wasn’t working. Well my neighbor happened to be a service tech for GM and she told me there was a recall on it. I went in and sure enough it was recalled and got a new instrument cluster for free.
Edit: after a quick search it looks like that was for ‘03 to ‘06 models.
If speedo is only issue get a GPS other than that. Pull cluster and clean connectors and fix bad connectors..and or replace as necessary...Mu 01 jepp had problem every time I went over a RR trac speedo went to 0000 every time I went over another RR it fixed itself...Pulled cluster <30m cleaned all connectors put back ...still working
