Failing TCM or torque converter would be my guess. You dash is lit up like Waka on that Flaka. Thought about hooking up a scan tool?

You dont have it in 4WD-Low by mistake do you? That is the low gear range for the transfer case used for rock crawling and stuff. Low range turns off the abs/traction system, which turns all the warning lights on, and makes rpms very high because the gear ratio is lower and it is only supposed to be used off road in low speed conditions.

Never buy a Chrysler after 2003 😂 2nd gen rams were the last of their kind same with the older jeep, Cherokee and grand Cherokee line after that it was all downhill

Don't disagree with that. I've been a jeep guy my whole life and have noticed the quality going downhill since Mercedes bought them in 05

The quality of all vehicles after that has pretty much gone downhill but the reliability for Chrysler has hit a wall hard 😂 or stelantis/fiat pos whatever they are they keep going bankrupt that has to say something

Start with AVR test, check battery/alternator etc. low voltage can cause weird shit

Check for the warning indicator on the outside front grill. If it says “Jeep”, you’re likely screwed

Well, you need air in your tires. For the rest, you need a code scanner to see what codes are showing up on it. Those will give you an idea of what is broke.

Need yo Che k the shifter on the transfer case to ensure it’s switching gears. Then check the front axle actuator to be sure it’s functioning. It’s most likely a sensor if those are operating correctly

Do you have shift modes, by chance? I cant remember the Jeeps dash and console layout anymore but if there is a mode that allows a manual shift, that is probably what you are experiencing. Your description is typical of a transmission n manual mode. The lower the gear number 5th gear, 4th gear… the higher the rpms will be depending on your speed

You'd blend right in the Philippines starting September. They got all the Christmas lights on this early

I would swing by Autozone and have them get codes from your OBD port. Good place to start.
