Cable broke if it is a cable style. Or a wire/sensor failed if it is the electric style. The sensor for the electric or the cable plug into the back of the transfer case.

considering it looks like he has an 89, that would be a cable driven speedo

I'll second the cable, as flash put it

Ya was not sure when they switched. I have heard many stories of mix and match cable/electric in different years and engine packages.
