Thats odd, my 02 could get a half rotation when I shift to 2nd when it was stock. Had the standard Goodyear Eagles on it. It is a 5-Speed however... I didn't look to see if you were in an auto or not

Well you may have some different gears in there, I'm thinking 3.73's because in my 5 speed I'm at 2500 at 70 mph in 5th gear with my 4.10's

And usually when people get gears, they'll get a tune too to correct the speedo.
