Thank you for your input.
Well I can say my Sahara with 3.73s and 32s would turn about 2250 at 70 so at 2500 I'm thinking you got 4.10s. IMHO

Also if I take the difference between the 4.10 and 3.73 and multiply by 2250 it comes to 2450ish

Maybe I did get 4:10s. It was ordered with the max tow package. I posted a picture of my dashboard @ 70mph. In the picture you can see the tach @ 2500rpms.

Thank you for your input.

Now that's interesting. If the manual and automatic with 4:10s are at the same rpm, why is jeep putting 3:73s with the automatic?

Well that's probably because auto by design get worse gas mileage than a manual. So the 3:73's maybe an attempt to make up for that.

Here's what mine looks like @ 70 MPH. A little over 2600 RPM, on a flat straight road.

Ok, I just checked mine again on the highway. My tach rests at 2450 @ 70mph and at 2550 at 75mph. 4:10 w/ 35's.

Thank you for your input.
It sounds like you are unsure of the gear ratio on your JK.

If you want to know for sure, regardless of what's on the sticker or build sheet, do this:


Jack one front tire off the ground.
Put a chalk mark on the tire and the drive shaft.
Rotate the tire by hand 2 complete revolutions while counting the drive shaft turns. The number will be your gear ratio.
A little less than 3 and 1/4 turns will be 3.21 gears.
About 3 and 3/4 turns will be 3.73 gears.
A little over 4 turns will be 4.10 gears.
