But as stated above we have had posters on here with the six cylinder and 5-speed with the two digit codes through 1994.
What I am trying find out is if he has the wrong PCM computer in his truck.

Also in 1991 the speed information from the VSS to the PCM Computer was electrical from the sensor to the PCM computer.
He may have a bad drive or driven gears for the VSS.
The cable going to the speedometer & speed control from the VSS could be bad and striped the gears at the tail shaft for the VSS.

I definitely plan on getting the PCM information, and checking my VSS. We'll figure it out one way or another.

I was able to pull out my PCM this morning right after I got off work. It does match the number above. Here is a picture.

I pulled the speedometer cable from the VSS, and spun it in a drill, and it seems the speedometer does indeed work. I actually already ordered a new speed sensor online at work last night and it should be here by Tuesday hopefully.

I would check the speedometer gears too. Might be those instead of the VSS itself.
