You can't 'code' the vin on a deuce, it's not set up like a normal vin, I.E. engine, tranny, etc details in the vin. The vin is more of a when it was built, and that's about it. Try this thread if you want to know more about vins...

That is how it is, every truck I've ever had has that lag between 3 & 4. big gear jump. I wind it way out on 3 before shifting to 4. really sucks when towing a heavy load.

There should be a tag on the tranny that will be stamped with the manufacture name, serial, date built and or rebuilt, and the model.

All we are saying, is verify the transmission, and see if it is a 3053A or B. Even if it is, please please verify your tachs. I drove a truck yesterday where the tach was way off. I could tell by the engine noise. possibly 40 yr old gages remember... Without a change to the stock gear ratios...

Yeah, the 3053B has a final drive of 1:0.75. But you still would only be going 61 at 2600 rpm...

They are messing with you tdevinjr, no such thing. The only thing we are saying is the numbers don't add up, more than likely you have a bad tach. If you were doing 65mph then your engine would HAVE to be turning (with the stock gearing and 9x20 tires) at close to 3000rpm. I'd check that tach...

Unless the gear ratio's have been changed, or your tach or speedometer is reading incorrectly, this is not possible with bare bones stock. Have you verified speed with a GPS unit or tag vehicle?
