Thanks to everyone. I think the overwhelming consensus is that 3000 to 3200 on the highway should go as far as my butt can handle the seat in a day!! I do appreciate all the comments. Im not going to worry about it!!

Dan, That was my point exactly, but I appreciate everyone's comments. I'm probably to conservative.

As many of us with the 3 speed auto transmissions know, bigger tires and lower axle gear ratios provide great power, but really run freeway RPMs up. Anyone have a thought on max RPM to cruise at on the highway for a couple hours or more? With 33s and 410s, I’m tacking over 3000 rpm at 70. In...

Thanks Jerry! What I kind of thought, but was far from sure!

Sorry for what seems like a silly question, but I am unsure. When an aftermarket locker says for 3.73 and up. Does the ”up” mean higher number gear ratio, 4.10 as an example, or an actual higher gear ratio, 3.03 as an example? Jeff

My new gear is coming today. I'm a little confused. You say to make sure the gear number range for your gear is in the 5 o'clock position, but also say the metal U clamp fits in the slots in the plastic housing. Don't the slots determine which number range is in the 5 o'clock position?

i ordered a new one yesterday. Shipped today. Should be here by Saturday. Be interesting to see what is in there. It came with 3.07 and I think about 28 or 29 tires, not sure on standard sport on 1999. I put an SYE on myself and had the gear out, but was to engrossed in the TC and SYE, I...

Thanks you so much guys!! That is exactly the info I needed and both are way close enough for me! Thanks Again!

I’m sorry to post this, but all the threads I have found provide links to pages and charts that are gone! The few I have found do not agree. I have a 1999, TJ with 4.0, auto and 4.11 gears. I went back to 33s from 35s. Well they are almost 33, they are wildpeak, 285/70/17 tires which I think...

Probably, but it will be the short one. 1999 was the last year of the 15 gallon tank, which was just the longer tube and a new part number stamped on it.

crap, typo. 32RH behind a 6 cylinder. 30 RH behind the 4 cylinder.

Are you sure? Your jeep has 4.0 on the side of it. If it is a 4.0, it has a 36rh in it. Jerry is there a difference in leak points, I have some nasty leaks in my 1999 4.0 with a 36RH.

China is China. Some good, some bad. Unfortunately, just like made in USA. All the Gates products I have used lately are now made in China! I see this is an old post. Anyone have any updates. The major advantage of Silicone is heat. I'm in Arizona and heat is a daily issue here. I change...

Thanks Daryl, that is a great thread!
