Hhhmmm... that's really strange..... I still think the TPS has something to do with it. What size tires and gears you have on there? You seem to hit O/D, and TCC engage sooner than it really should..... (but, not by much.)

Well it is a Jeep "remember me ?" I think the Jeeps shift sooner then your bigger dodge trucks, its basicly the same exact thing as a dodge dakota tho, its the same engine and transmission and Jeep forums know absolutetly nothing about these engines since so little were made so i always post here when it comes to these questions.. OD usually shifts at 35mph and TC locks at 40mph, unless im giving it harder throttle then its around 40-45mph.

However yea you saw the like 500 drop in rpm at 2:25 right ? That is so wierd its never done this before until i changed the batt termimals a week ago.. And now after last night it seems to be working as it did prior.. Maybe messing with the TPS yesturday did something.. So I'll get a new one when i get paid..

Im using 225/75/16, and it has stock 3.73 gears

Ok, well, jeep.. and gears/tires explains a bit.

Did you reset the PCM after you did the sensor swap? (just disconnect the battery for a while.)

Yea I did, on both sensors and with both i got check engine lights 2 days later and the engine wouldnt start, so i had to return them and put the stock one back in.

Yea I know my tires are tiny... im getting 245/75/16's here next month i hope. I just wanted to wear down the tires i had when i bought the Jeep you know ? But yea they are like tinee tiny lol
