Most new GMC vehicles use an electronic speed sensor. Check underneath the vehicle for rubbing wire harness against the drive shaft, or possibly a loose / disconnected electrical cable to the transmission.

You might need a new speedo cable but if its a sensor you could need a new sensor and that might not be cheap.

2004 sierra 1500 crew cab won't go into park unless truck is slightly moving

Inside your automatic transmission is a cawl that engages a notched ring. If your transmission linkage has become bent for some reason, or the transmission has been moved (an accident, a damaged mount, etc.) then it might take some extra persuasion to get into park. Internal damage to the transmission is also plausible if the trans was abused in some way. That could include putting stress on the park mechanism, even as little as parking on a steep hill and relying on the transmission cawl instead of the parking brake. The vehicle needs to be put up on a lift to check for obvious linkage problems--otherwise it gets more serious.

Where is the cabin filter on a sierra 2004 gmc sle crew cab truck

The 04 SIERRA is behind a panel with 4 screws under the glove box...Remove the screws and cover and slide it out.There is actually 2 in there and it is easy once the cover is off.

Usually there are extremely detailed instructions that come with the new filter when you open the box...Follow these instructions it shouldn't be too hard.

Front wheel shakes when turning sometime on my 01 gmc sierra

Give a check on your ball joints. If you jack up the truck where the front wheels are off the ground, put your hands on either side of the tire and try to move it, if it moves up/down, your ball joints are bad, if it moves side/side, your tie rod ends are bad.
