I get about 63 MPH at 2400 RPM (used 37" as a rough tire height).
Those Allison's have a locking converter? Approximate 10% slippage in an unlocked torque convertor would put the road speed at around 58 MPH at 2400 RPM would it not?
Problem with choosing the right rear axle ratio

I’d get the truck to an allison shop to verify the transmission is working properly.

Allison 1000/2000 torque converter locks in 2nd and stays locked.
If there was anything wrong with an allison codes will be set. Guaranteed. No codes, no trouble.
The unit is 13 years old. Someone may have swapped axle gears at some point.
Speedo calibration can be altered with tire size, compare speedo reading to a gps..

Roberts450 and AModelCat Thank this. -

Any chance they altered any parameters or changed any settings when they did the DPF?

Have you checked the rear end for a tag? If you can find one on the carrier assembly (the part the driveshaft is atrached to) and post the info it might be able to clarify what the actual ratio is.
