i want to ask what rpm u should be running if you accelerate to 35mph and hold that speed. also what gear should that be?

stock jeep? manual or auto? how big are your tires? You have to tell us a bit more.

99 stock, automatic, with 235/75r/15 tires

I am trying to see it my shift points are right on my transmission. i know obviously the shift points are higher when putting it to the floor. I just want to know on a normal smooth acceleration when i am not trying to kill it.

At 35, you should be in 3rd. OD does not kick in until 40-45. On a 4.0 manual, you can run 5th at 35MPH and ~ 1000 RPM.

thanks,

I think when i am accelerating a slow, steady pace ( 0 to 60), i hit second gear at close to 30 mph, 3rd about 40 ish and 4th a about 50 ish.

sound right?

I noticed on some youtube videos of 0-60 cherokee tests that laying on the throttle it shifts first just before 5000 rpm, then again about 4200 rpms or so. is that like pedal to floor?

That does look about right though with what I get on mine.

Thanks

I run 1000 rpm in 4th gear at 35 mph.. 5th gear bogs down far too much below about 40mph.
