Stall speed of Cherokee SRT-8?

Hey all you Jeep guys:

How high does your stock torque converter stall?

 

I think 27 or 2800

 

if thats the case lx got the shaft.

 

Easy way to check. Put your vehicle in autostick and select 2nd gear at a dead stop. Stomp on the throttle and look at the rpm.

For the Jeeps, it's closer to 3000 rpm stock. On my Jeep, adding the high torque cam made the foot stall closer to 3200 rpm now. With this kind of stall and all wheel drive traction, it's no wonder that our heavy vehicles 60' in the low 1.8s at the track bone stock.

 

I can't check - I don't have a Jeep.

3,000? Really? Autostick in 1st gear, sitting at a stop sign, and you can slowly rev to 3,000 rpm with your foot on the brakes before the tires break loose?

 

The stock stall is closer to 2400. Definately not 27 or 2800 like I stated earlier.

 

Did you just go check?

 

No, but it was posted a while back on the other forums. Tried to find it. Thats the best i could find. I think Stanko knows.

 

Thanks! I had a friend at the local dealership just go out to one on the lot and test it. He just called back and said 2,400 - 2,500 as well.

 

matt why do you want to know? Not like you have a jeep. Are you trying to find out what stall you want?

 

yeah and we cannot rev what past 3000 at idle stock

 

Exactly. 24, 26, 28, 30, 32......

Lots of choices, lots of prices, lots of manufacturers. Need to figure out what my combo needs.

But 1800 (Stock 300C SRT-8) isn't the answer.

 

I wish I would have gone a little bigger maybe a 3000 or 32. Ps did my suspension get out to day?

 

Your suspension is on its way as of about 11:00 eastern. My wife did the duties of delivering to UPS, so I don't have a tracking number with me. I'll PM the number later tonight. I think she said Thursday delivery for you?

"the stall speed on the GC is about 2800rpm. The torque ratios are different between the GC and the LX's..Gc is a bit looser"

 

About being the key word here. If you check it for yourself, you'll see that the Jeep stall speed is really closer to 3000 rpm. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself.

I think it's funny...I tell you guys an easy way to check it for yourself and nobody wants to take 5 minutes to find out. They'd rather just quote some source they heard on the net. For what it's worth, you won't be able to hold the brakes hard enough to find the true stall in 1st gear, but with 2nd gear you definitely can.

 

Well it ain't as simple as you stated, add TCM/Brake on/ABS/PCM/ logic to that and it won't be a hard fast number you can easily define.

Also If I'm not mistaken we were told it was a bad idea to put a higher stall in ours

 

I spin bad enough as it is off the line. No high stall needed here. :erm:

 

Streetable or not?
