07-31-2016, 09:26 PM #1Hey im trying to do some calculations to set the rear gears on my grand cherokee Om617, im positive it nedds higher number on the rear but for that i just need one more piece of info and is if the converter has a clutch on it, i looked that the om617 transmission has a 3.54 first and a 1to1 4 fourth gear, i will be thankful to verify this info and to know about the converter lock up

Are you 2wd or 4? Yes I believe that the 722.3 and 722.4 have a 1:1 ratio. Unsure if I remember right but I think it's 3.68:1, 2.44:1, 1.41:1, 1:1

08-01-2016, 06:04 AM #3Is a two wheel drive with the same weight of a 300sd 3900 pounds, the transmission is a aw4 from a Cherokee qith a. 75 overdrive thats is having 1600 rpm at 55 but my calculations tells me that a 300sd has on its final gear around 2250 rpm, but if the tras doesn't have a converter clutch i will have to add probably around 200 rpm on 55,where im sitting now seems that i need a 4.56 against what I have now 3.55

I believe your logic is correct. I have 4.56 in my Jeep Cherokee. May be some good info for you in my build.

I use this Jeep heavily offroad but it is also my daily driver. I'm running 32.4" tires. I gained about 2mpg when I wired the torque converter lockup. I'm getting 17mpg around town I'd guess about 20mpg on the highway, my Jeep is getting pretty heavy with all the crap I keep adding.
