Hey
Been going through my break in period on 5.13 gears with my 35" tires on my Automatic 2010 JK unlimited. Did my 5 heat cycles and am about 300 miles in. Do u truly have to wait 500 miles to test out the torque? I am dying to try here.
One weird thing I noticed is that on startup/first driving, I feel like gears are slipping a bit. Like a clutch slipping almost. Not all the time but more after jeep has been sitting a bit. Is this normal? Can be in 1st or 2nd gear. Does it go away?
I also thought regearing would change my shifting patterns but I am still ending up in 4th gear in my automatic ( 3.8 L) by 40mph. I am driving line a grandpa though to take it easy like my shop said and like Eddie's Q&A says to do, but I thought this would change. Keep in mind i do have superchips traildash.
Mileage seems to have gone down on highway but up around town. Maybe averaging 15 on both now as opposed to 12 and 18-19 like before
Curious your thoughts if all this is normal
Thanks
