My 52 M38A1 could do 50mph though only 45 is recommended. Not made for hwy
speeds. Brakes suck too. Great ride though...

Subject: [MV] Jeep is Driving Slow
Hi list...
Since I've had my Jeep running I've never really drove her around the city
streets too much. When I do though, she has a top speed of about 30~35 mph.
First gear is fine, second is good, but when I go into third the engine will
lug and just won't accelerate any more. If I stay in third I'll loose
speed - So I have to downshift or it will flood the engine.
Overall, she's great in 4WD-low/off-road, but when it comes to 2WD on roads
I think she's a bit sluggy and not running up to par.
So to you experts out there, what are the likely problems/diagnosis and what
do I do to fix it?
Thanks
