My point remains, I could not down shift enough to maintain speed on a grade. regardless of rpm.

I will verify tonight with pictures and post them tomorrow. The actual height of the "37's" if I remeber correctly is 36.2' when I measured. yes 5.13's If the clutch were slipping, it would have gave up the ghost on a 8hr trip. I never once smelled anything. I assume the calculator your posting...

Your correct, I meant 3100rpm, not 3900. 4rth at 60 is 3100ish, I did run 3rd way deep several times to no avail. Power is flat from 3200 to 5500 rpm

Yes the tire size in correct in the jeep. set with the taser, speed was verified with the gps vs the speedometer. the only time I saw 80 mph was downhill lol. The speed linit here is 75 in most places, so at 65 your get passed like your standing still. in 6th with no load the truck sits right...

We have 24k on the truck, its been re geard since around 5k miles.

The sxs is because I'd rather beat that through fire roads than the jeep. I agree some on the rolling resistance. I need to plug my scanner in and verify im actually getting 100% throttle at WOT. I really suspect I'm not, just based off how the truck reacts. As far as the wind goes, I still...

We will see if its the weight or the air. I have a suspicion that the truck will still struggle with my flat car hauler and the sxs. I will report back.

I'm pretty sure its just not going to do it. Not really a lugging thing. It is just unacceptable that mopar rated it at 4k lbs. Its not like I'm asking it to pull 8k lbs. 5k rpm in 3rd should be max output, and it doesnt cut the mustard. One odd thing I noticed is every vehicle I'v driven...

That is hard to believe seeing as its the same 3.6!! The manual trans in theory should be better as the parasitic loss is less. I would think the auto 8 speed has a little advantage in gearing selection ( I wish I had a ratio between 3rd and 4th) But I'm still stuck on I couldn't make any...

For sure, I would assume that because the truck is covering 75% of the front of the trailor that the sq footage would be negligent. I really think the 3.6 just doesnt have the sauce to haul it. Thats based off running it in 3rd at 5k rpm and still loosing speed. Not the end of the world, but...

For you auto guys, What rpm do you notice when pulling a hill? I have had wind issues with other setups, it doesn't buck wind, or feel like wind resistance. Contemplating the sq footage of the front, I would submit that the frontage is actually reduced by the truck being lifted. I just have a...

Pulled the 7x14 enclosed this weekend for the first real trip, i.e. 450miles. What a let down. I will start by saying that we did not intend to use the JT as a tow rig, but we have recently bought a sxs and it made sense to use the Jt as it is setup for camping. For all the spec guys, the rack...

I run the KO3's on our JT, and all four work trucks I have for the business. We had one Load range E on a 2500 ram that took 12 oz. but it runs out fine. The load range C's we have on the JT and half ton trucks rarely take over 5 oz's. On the 2500 ram we got 60k miles out of the first set, with...

I second the JKS acos setup. Pair that with some fresh 3" springs and you would be doing good. I run the JKS kit in the back to. Very happy so far with the performance off road.

I run the bfg ko series. They do very well in sand. Here in Michigan we have alot of sand. I just make sure to get load range C, not E. Always happy with them, great on road manners, and they perform well offroad. I run 28 psi, on the factory willys wheels. In sand we air down to 10psi usually...

Sounds like just some nuisance stuff. Hopefully they get you sorted out. 8500 miles in a year, I wish we put on that few, lol our 22 just rolled 23k miles.

I just talked to centerforce on Friday. I just installed their kit, but didnt want to get into the hydraulics as we were leaving for the weekend. They said it wont hurt anything. It worked fine, but the engagement is extremely low, right off the floor. We drove it for the weekend that way and...

I was just curious. Like I've already stated it was a time crunch thing for me. Well worth it whichever way you go. Just be thankfull you didn't need to get the master cylinder out, that sucked.

ACT what's the weight difference from my CF to your pro mass?

The stock clutch deffintly has a lighter feel with rpms, an object in motion tends to stay in motion, ill be curious to see if the rpm hang is actually able to be tuned out, your spinning a lot more mass, so by design it's going to carry longer. As far as the old Ford, no replacement for...
