96 XJ, 4.0, AW4, 4x4
I have 30x9.5in tires
While running 70 mph (on the speedo) my rpms are showing 2000...this has been the case for ever...
Now, since about 6 months ago, about half the time i get 2200 rpm showing at 70 mph. Sometimes I'll be going down the hiway, see that the rpms are reading high, slow down or come to a stop, start back and now I'm getting 2000 rpm. This is true for all speeds...I'll get 2-300 rpms higher than I should, and if I slow down for a stoplight or slow traffic, and then speed back up, I'll then get normal RPM readings.
Now, sometimes speeding up and slowing down doesn't change anything, and I'll get the same (normal) RPM readings for the entire trip, or sometimes I'll get higher RPM readings for an entire trip.
Trans is full with reddish/pink fluid. 60K miles on trans flush (whole 13 qts)
any ideas what could be causing the higher RPMs?
