Have a 2019 JLUR 2.0 auto 8 and took a road trip to Savannah from Atlanta this week. I kept finding that as I would try to accelerate over 70 uphill, I would have to drop down to fourth before I can start gaining forward momentum. Couldn’t get to 80 uphill, only flat and downhill. I just lifted my jeep 3 inches and put 37 inch trail grapplers on it prior to the trip. Just seems that 70 mph uphill makes it struggle (Has to drop to 4th and 5k rpm with full pedal). Are the issues I’m having common with not regearing from the 4.10? It still runs great in the city on low end torque, even gets up to 70 right quick on flat ground. A buddy of mine told me that it shouldn’t struggle like that. I’ve already had major headaches with FCA after wheeling it and sucking water into the transmission. Replaced it with a brand new transmission, heater, and cooler from FCA (All out of pocket $7k later) and haven’t been off Road since. Just recently upgraded tires and lift. I’m terrified to take it back after they raked me over the coals last time. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Ps. I only hit 8th gear once on this trip
