Default 3 miles too fast!!!!!!!?

Today I noticed that my speedometer is going about 3 miles too fast at 65. Would be a speed senser problem or something else?
Its a '95 1500, 350, with a 3 speed automaticwith overdrive, 3.43 rear end.

Was this due to a radar screen that flashed your speed? If so, that would be the margin of error of your speedo combined with the margin of error of the radar.

If it is by GPS, again, your speedo has a margin of error built in to account for tire size changes and other anomolies.

Unfortunatly it was both, both the GPS and the radar told me I was off by the same amount. When I use the GPS in my other car both it and my speedo match up perfect.
