My experience is that the JK and the JL transmissions in 4-low auto will just upshift to a higher gear on steep grades even with periodic braking. They will also down-shift when I brake enough, but 4-low auto is not useful for compression braking. In high range auto at highway speeds the JL...

Removing the Tazer did not make the problem go away. I only got one down-hill run for about 15 minutes, so I may try again later to see if the transmission changes tuning over longer downhill runs. I'm comparing my 2016 Wrangler Willys to my 2020 Wrangler Rubicon. They both have the V-6...

I agree it's a great vehicle. The 8-speed transmission rivals the BMW transmissions I've had for smoothness and learning capabilities. The V-6 has good torque and fuel economy. I haven't gotten it in deep snow or mud yet, but it should do better than my JK which performed great when it's...

I'm going to the mountains tomorrow, so I think I'll remove the Tazer and see how mine acts. We can compare results.
