Re: Disconnecting swaybar, K&N filter question, engine mod questions
Wow, that link was the kind of information I was looking for... someone who
did a test on that sort of thing like filtration and all.
Well I already have lsd's and gearing done, so I guess I'm good then. Maybe
steeper gearing later on in the future, I have 33x12.50's with 4.10 gears.
I read about alot of people who ride with 4.56's and that tire size, but I
haven't ridden in a jeep with that setup yet, so I don't know how the top
end speed is...
How many rpms are you at when going 70mph in 5th gear with 4.56 and 33's?

Re: Disconnecting swaybar, K&N filter question, engine mod questions
It's somewhere around 2700 rpms at 70 mph, nowhere near excessive. I'm
running 4.88 with 35" tires which produces very similar rpms to 33"
tires and 4.56 and it's the perfect combination in my opnion. I would
not want any lower rpms since my 5th gear is very useable on the
highway, not what it would be with a higher ratio that would lower the
rpms too much. When I ran 33" tires with 4.10, it sucked, I was always
having to downshift due to lack of power. That's why I skipped over
4.56 and went to 4.88 when I upgraded to 35" tires.

Anyone have any first hand info on using ACDelco air or oil filters on

I pulled mine out when I found a thin film of dust on the inside surface of
the intake tube between the airbox and the throttle body.
