Speedometer off

Just curious and after all these years - not really a big issue. 1996 Ram 2500 and the speedometer is off by 5mph across the board. At 25 mph it is indicating 30. At 70 mph it shows 75. Is there an easy fix? Like I said after 16 years I just live with it.

Mines been reading 5 mph high since I bought it new. It never bothered me enough to make the dealership fix it - in fact it has probably saved me some speeding tickets!
