Prodigy requested my gearing for the new tune, but I have no idea what it is. I'll have to put it up on stands and turn it to see unless somebody out there can tell me if they have similer gearing to mine and what it is? In 6th gear (manual) at 60 mph I'm a solid 2000 RPM. Sound familiar?
It's gotta either be 3.21 or 3.73, right?

maybe I need to read on further, as possibly i have misunderstood...

Thanks, I bought this rig used with 6000 miles on it from a second owner. It didn't have a build sheet or even an owners manual, but it was as clean as a whistle and after a test drive I liked the gearing so I bought it for a song compared to what a new one would have cost...One day I'm sure I'll pull the diff covers and count the R&P splines while in there to replace the diff oil.

You can also go to Jeep's website under owners section and register the VIN and get the build sheet online in a few minutes.

Install finished
I finished the install late so I'll load the new tune/calibration in the morning and do some road testing. Everything went on w/o any major issues except the high flow muffler. It wouldn't fit no matter what I did to it so ill have a muffler shop put my Jeep on a lift so they can modify the muffler so it will fit.
