if you are using an independant gps ie a garmin or an app on your smart phone and you are at 3000 at 70mph I agree either your tranny is not upshifting or you have extremely deep gears. with 32" tires to be at 3000rpm at 70 with a automatic pre 2012 you would have to have high 5.XX to low 6.XX gearing.

I am using a Garmin GPS not a built in. I got my 2011 at the end of the build year so I think it should have the crappy mini van engine and 3.73 are my gears. It does feel like its not down shifting so tomorrow I'll turn off my overdrive and see if that helps. Again I thought the procal would fix the RPM's? oh well...

I did that and measured 16.5 x 2=33" on my 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers...lol...From the ground to the center of the center cap....16.5. I guess I need to put 33" and I should be on the money huh!...
