About 2100rpm at 70. Do you have little tires on it "undersized"? Overdrive off does what?

mines turning 1975 at 70 mph with 265/70r17s. sounds like overdrive is locked out. mine will turn about 2400-2500 with overdrive locked out.

Correction, When my gps says im going 70mph my truck is running between 2300 and 2400 rpm. When the speedo says im going 70mph im running around 2150rpm. I need to get taller highway tires. I got 65k till I can get new ones
