Whats normal rpms @70 mph?

actually driving with od on or off should be determined by terrain, speed etc. If it is in od and not hunting or lugging you will be fine. why run at 2600-2800 rpms driving down a flat interstate at 75 when you will be fine at 2200rpm etc. let your vehicle tell you what it needs.

Maybe mines different but I live in Illinois (doesn't get much flatter) and my jeep hunts and downshifts on the interstate because it can't hold the speed real well with od on. But ya totally up to you and how you want it to drive

did you recalibrate your speedo with a procal? The aev procal recalibration will change your shift points not sure if all of the recalibration tools do the same. Also maybe your motor is a little weaker then some. I agree if you can not hold speed or are hunting for the proper gear then you need to downshift but if you are maintaining speed and not hunting then no reason to downshift.
