Don`t know what gearing I have .....2000-2200rpms at 60mph....don`t know if
the previous owner changed the speedo gear or not. Didn`t change the front
gear oil yet, ran out of oil...tomorrow. The previous owner also ran without
both swaybars he had lost the disconnect tube on the left side, so I bought
a replacement and installed it..steering seems a bit tighter and more
confidant.
The yj needs a new muffler so I bought a muffler+tailpipe the system on
there now has no tailpipe, well actually it does a 6" tailpipe from the
muffler. I thought maybe it had something to do with rock climbing...what do
i know!
Of course the standard tailpipe won`t fit with the lift + Plastic/Rubber 20
gal fuel tank! As I found out. Is there so such a thing as a flexible
tailpipe similar to those flexible gas lines for your gas stove?
Thanks
Boris

Sounds like a 3.73 axle ratio. For best fuel economy versus performance
you want the 4.2 engine running about 2200 to 2400 rpm at highway
cruising speed.
