I've been away from the forum for a while. I've had my hands full with life in general. Inherited a new toy and have been enjoying driving it a lot too - 2007 black Corvette Z06.
But as always, when I have a question about my KJ, I always come back here to LOST. I searched and did not find any answers for this one, so if it has already been discussed, just point me to the right post. For those that don't know me, I have a 2007 KJ, 2WD, auto tranny, OME/Skyjacker Lifted, JBA Arms, 4.10 Gears, running 265/75-16 on Moabs.
So Here's my problem. Noticed recently when I am running at TX highway speeds of 75 MPH, that when I let off my accelerator and coast, the engine RPMs don't drop significantly. I actually acts like a standard tranny and somewhat does an engine-brake and decelerates much more quickly than a free-coasting. I even tried this today going downhill. I actually sowed down from 70 to 55 pretty quickly while going down a grade that should have kept up my speed, and maybe increased my speed if coasting. It's not my imagination that the Jeep should not act this way, right? Any ideas as to the problem? I have 98k miles on it. Tranny filter and complete fluid change around 40k miles. Since then, I have done a drain-and-fill of trans fluid every 6 months with quality ATF+4.
Here's a recent pic of my KJ...
And Here's my new Z06 too...
