You'll be at 2555 rpm at 60mph, and 2981 rpm at 70 mph in 6th gear with 5.13 gears. I've never seen anything blow up at 3000 rpm. I would strongly advise against talking to these people again.

Bullsh*t. What does it exactly mean when he says he can't run it 'cause it revs too high? The Jeep hesitates, overheats, completely shuts off, explodes, what exactly happens that he cannot drive?

I have 5:13's and 35's and the gears are good. If your planning on eventually going to 37's I would suggest maybe doing 5:38's. Something to consider, your jeep will still not explode with these gears.
