I've gotten on it a few times just messing around but my engine will hit about 5k before shifting

How hard is it on the engine to do this?

Not saying I run my jeep hard but I got on it pretty good today and I don't wanna hurt my baby

i bounce of the rev limiter pretty often.no direct damage done. used 4 liters are cheap, plentiful, and easy to swap anyway.

Michael952

Didn't think I was hurting it but it sounds like its running its little heart out lol
I know they are cheap but I could be using the money on something else.
Thanks for the reply

No harm, if anything it's probably good for the i6 to tach it out once and a while.

Michael952

Thanks man
My only real problem I guess is sucking down gas whenever I do it I guess lol

VTJeep

Yeah, but they'll do that when bein gentle, too.. Haha.
Also, bigger issue will be stress to driveline parts if you do this at the wrong time off road.

I can't do too much offroading till this weekend after I replace my ujoint
If i put it in 4wd it would probably break lol
Tho I i did go mess around in 2wd today for a bit

VTJeep

Always good to see what your limitations are in 2wd!

I like mashing my pedal...

It makes the Jeep go VROOOOOOOOOM.

Michael952

AeroSynch

I see you have the 2.5 4 cyl then.

Michael952

it's a special type of engine from chevy
Jeep only used them for about an day
Not many around

2.5 in the front and 1.5 in the back I see.

Its good to give the engine some real throttle now and then, as long as you dont run it at 5k for a long time

I dump the clutch if im at the front of the line of cars at a light, why not be the first up to the speedlimit.

Gotta love that sound
and that smell
