I can get my 09' rolling at under 1000 RPM, but I do notice that it is a little hesitant around 2000 when shifting from gear to gear. However I can and do shift around 2000 when i want to conserve gas.

I agree with everyone here. I drive an 08 Rubi with 4.10's and 35's and I stall every so often too. I also used to drive a YJ with the 4.0L HO. I think those of us that drove older jeeps were used to the torque and powerband of that engine. It's not that the minivan engine is bad... just different.

Anyone had any luck getting their dealer to reprogram the drive by wire throttle to behave like a normal throttle?
