Stock Rubicon 33 inch. 80 mph, flat highway, no headwind, 6th no problem. 10-15 mph headwind or slight rolling hills, 80 mph, 5th no problem. Steeper inclines, 80 mph, passing most traffic in 4th no problem.
Lol, you acting like we have different engines. You have a better engine??
Apparently.
I guaranty you get better mileage in all modes. I’ve given up on averaging better than 17 mpg - no matter how I drive — in my Rubicon. I’m thinking the 4.10 rear has a lot to do with it. What axle does the Willy’s have?
Well that answers the question, i dont have the 4.10. Didnt get the rubicon because i planned to regear to something bigger than 4.10 with a supercharger after the 3yr warranty was over.
That doesn't seem effective at all. The example over on the Wrangler Forum was going 35 in 3rd gear when his clutch grenaded and the RPMs and power curves exist the same across every gear, it's sorta why they're there. Lowering the torque for 5th and 6th will only force the driver to downshift for more power causing higher revs which will likely cause more heat. That fix doesn't even qualify as a Band-Aid.
I was wondering about that. Skip the de tune and swap the clutch out.I know alot of people are not up for doing it, but I am genuinely curious if replacing the clutch with an aftermarket option will eradicate the possibility of this happening. I dont mind throwing some money at the truck for some piece of mind. Its already overpriced whats another $1000
The solution is seriously to reduce the torque? We paid for a shit amount of torque and I'm not sure we have ANY fucking torque to spare.I know alot of people are not up for doing it, but I am genuinely curious if replacing the clutch with an aftermarket option will eradicate the possibility of this happening.

I don't think you meant to quote me on that as I didn't mention FCA's solution, but that aside I 100% agree with you! Its BS.
