Yeah, I did notice the earlier 4.0s made max torque at 3000 rpm where my WJ's figures are 4000 rpm. So, having said that, the mid-range torque is less compared to the '98 and older. At 65 mph, it's around 3000 when it kicks down to 3rd gear for passing. Also, I've noticed the transmission seems to lag making up it's mind what gear to downshift to. Several times, I've been trying to merge on an on-ramp and it won't immediately downshift so I boot it some more, only to have it downshift to 2nd!
