I have a 6.0 from a 2001 chevy truck in my 94 wrangler with a 700r4, running 33's with 3;73 gears. This is used as a daily driver and occasional off road. My question is on the hwy going about 65 I run 2500 RPM, is this normal. The 700r4 is from a V-6 was wondering if the torque converter could be an issue with the RPMS? Any help would be great thank you.

With that tall of a tire, you should be much lower.

Sounds like you lost 4th gear and are running around in 3rd only. A gear calculator showed that with your specs, 3rd gear is 2500rpm at 66mph.

Try shifting into 3 from D and see if that makes a difference in RPMs. If it doesn't, then your transmission is not shifting into 4th for some reason.

Yep ^^^^ You are probably not in 4th. I have a k5 blazer with a 700R4, with 4.10 gears, and 35" tires. I only turn 2200 rpm at 65. Adjusting the TV Cable on a 700r4 is critical. Are you sure you have it done right?

I thought the same thing with it not going into fourth but if I put it in drive and then down shift it going down the highway the RPMS increased and it feels like the transmission is down shifts, so i would assume its going into fourth. I have my TV cable adjusted to what my tranny guy set it at. Not to sure whats going on.

Are you sure you have 3.73 gears?

Sweet_jeep3

do you have the lockup wired up??

Sweet_jeep3

I have it wired to a switch in the cab that I turn on when going down the road. Now that you mention that when I would flip the switch nothing would change .

Sweet_jeep3

If the TV cable is not set correct would that change if it locks up or not?

yes if its not set correctly pressure in 3rd and 4th could be slightly off, it dont take long to hurt a 700r4 might have wiped 4th out completely. or maybe blown fuse goin to your switch??
