And you would be correct, somewhat. It's Jaguar.

When did Honda make a sports car? The 3.7L is not a big block. A Chevy 454 V8 is a Big Block. Hitting close to redline is the same in basically every car. Once in a while is good for the engine, at least not very harmful. All day everyday is a shortcut to a new motor.

Funny guy, I have a Honda S 2000, 2002 year and "Rio Red".
240 horse and redlines at 8500 RPM.
So going from that to a Jeep has been interesting to say the least.
I have a Honda Prelude as well. 1990 that is now my kids.
But I gotta tell you that the Jeep has been awesome. I love the ride and enjoy the vehicle. Very different engine though.

Haha...good catch.

BTW, I rarely ever accelerate mine past 3000 rpms. I usually like to keep it at 2500, or if I feeling "grandma-like" I keep it at 2000, usually get pretty good mileage like that. But of course I'm not carry 1/2 ton of gear in the back of mine like TJKJ is.

Cruising on the HWY at 70mph its at 2400

 

[ms5490renegade]

it took some will power but i managed to find out what my jeep redlines at. 6300 rpm's. i saw you all say 5600 and thats what i expected but mine went further.

 

[Dave08]

No... The redline is 5,600 , maybe incorrect but I'm thinking you're hitting the computer rev limiter.... Which I can't see the purpose of because it's well out of peak torque and horsepower so I'm betting it wasn't pulling as hard as you thought it would..

 

[JeepJeepster]

Yea, it redlines are 5,600 for sure and mine has NEVER been over that.

Cant believe the 45rfe hits 2400 at 70mph. My 42rle hits 2500 at 80mph but I would rather it have higher rpms so it wouldnt need to down shift on the hills so much.

The 42RLE has a higher overdrive then the 45RFE,but the 45RFE has a lower 1st and reverse.

My KJ with the 45RFE is turning about 2700rpm at 80mph,but I also have 4.10's and not the stock 3.73's.
