Truly dont drive it much. Travel for work all the time. Just never bothered me since i new the difference.

One more check - Did the shop tell you about the gear break in period/steps?

On this topic I have a crazy thought, why went you buy a new car you don't really have a gear break in period? I mean you change the fluid at what 15-25k miles? Always just wondered that when I hear about "gear break in period"...

The gears from factory are "lapped" at the vehicle factory, eliminating the need for a gear break in period.

Well I learned something new. Huh, I always wondered that. Thanks for sharing that.

Overland....

What programmer would be best to use for this reprogramming the gear ratio and speedo?

I have a procal I can sell you if your interested

 

[Indy14jk]

Yes. Just normal easy driving for so long. No trailers etc....

 

[Hot94Z28]

So just asking here you would by 37's, plus re-gear, but you don't want to buy a procal? That was the first thing I bought when I started to do mods.

Tru story. Ran my gps to make sure

Factory gps runs off the computer so it will be off as well, changing gears without reprogramming will send your jeep into limp mode :yup:

I was not using factory gps. I have changed out head unit. And yes i shoulda bought a tuner long ago. Just never really needed it till now. I barely drive it as is. But i do want it to be correct now. So this is why i was asking to find a solution to my problems

 

[BertaNation]

Same thing happened to me when I regeared to 488.
U need a programmer it will fix it.
I would look into super chip
Procal works. But get a real programmer it will tune for better performance

No, you needed it since day one of changing anything from stock, Now is just the time when you realized you can't get away with burying your head in the sand about not having a new vehicle operate as it should...

 

[Indy14jk]

Got my programmer today!!! Everything is working as it should. Thanks for all your input.
