What are your axle gear ratios? I have 3.92 gears for my 3.9-V6-CC-4wd and I
rarely ever see it get as high as 17. Maybe on a long straight highway trip
at a reasonable speed. I have owned 2 of them with this set up and it's
consistently bad. Now that it's winter I'm hoping it stays out of the single
digits, but it's always close.
