Hi Kevin, Sorry, I missed seeing your response until today. Both your and Maximus Gladius trucks limit at 3500 rpm in 4L Reverse, while mine limits at both 3500, and then at 2500. Thanks for posting your results.

I did not post this in the “Issues” section. I posted this in the “General Topics” section. A forum administrator decided to change it to the “Issues” section. I never said anything like how do I eliminate the rpm limits or how do I make the truck go faster than 3500 rpms in 4L Reverse. I...

I don’t believe I ever stated that I wanted to go faster than 3500 rpms, but merely noted that an rpm limit seemed to exist at 3500 then at 2500 and asked if other members had noted those limits in 4L REVERSE. 3500 rpm in 4L REVRSE worked well for the snow conditions and slope I encountered...

What I found about my truck was as follows: 1. In 4L reverse there is an rpm limit at 3500. 2. Once that 3500 rpm limit is reached the limit remains 3500 rpm as long as the rpms remain above 2500. 3. If the rpms drop below 2500 for about 3 sec or so, there is a new rpm limit of 2500 set. 4...

I can have it limit to 2500 rpm by just backing up a100 feet or so in my gravel driveway. I wouldn’t think that heat sensors would be a factor. I’ll try letting the rpms drop to 2000 and see if it then limits to 2500 or 3500.

When at 3500 rpm, if I back off the accelerator and let the rpms drop below 2800 rpm, then try to accelerate, the rpms are further limited to 2500. Thanks for tour efforts. You are the only one who actually tried this with their truck.

If the 2500 rpm was a concern, why was it addressed by limiting rpms in 4L reverse and not when in 4L forward gears? Also, why would the Jeep owners manual not mention it at all? Also, the rpms are first limited at 3500. Perhaps you missed those points.

Thank you for your interest in this thread. Do you have anything to add that would add information that pertains to my original post?

Well, I guess we just disagree on that point. Sorry I could not communicate clearly with you.

To answer my original question, you would need to put your truck in 4L reverse and report on your results. No one seems to want to try this. Until that begins to happen, I guess the question will remained unanswered. I have no ill feelings toward anyone and do thank those of you who took the...

This information is from page 169 in the 2021 owners manual. No reference is made to causing damage to the transfer case at rpms above 2500, only a caution about over speeding the engine while in 4L. Now back to the original question. ?

Can you please provide the source for this quotation you posted? Your response is appreciated, but again does not address the question I asked. I am simply trying to find out if it is my truck that is rpm limited in 4L reverse, or this is normal for all gladiators.

Maybe I still am still failing to describe the situation fully. When I put the truck in 4L Reverse (no off road+, no lockers, no other changes) and then begin to back up, once 3500 rpms is reached, the truck will not go any faster. If I let off on the accelerator a bit and then try to...

True, I was in Off Road+ when I first experienced the rpm limiting in 4L reverse, but have since noticed the rpm limiting by just putting the truck in 4L reverse, no Off Road+, no lockers, no other changes. Sorry I didn’t clarify this earlier.

So far only Maximus Gladias has responded to the original question that was posted. I’m sure that all who responded had good intentions, but those responses have not addressed he original question so I’ll try again. When my gladiator is in 4L REVERSE, the rpms are limited to 3500, and if I let...

Very similar to my experience!? I was pushing through fresh snow down a narrow road. I was solo. The hill exposure changed more to the north and the snow became much deeper very quickly. I had to reverse about 1/2 mile to reach a turn around point. At 3500 rpm I was doing ok, but when I...
