@@Bryan916we got it good here fuck rust

Happy to hear my video helped out!

No never had one not start on me. Have You check the cam and crank sensor!

Yeah, wonder the % of the times he sighed over "another 4.7" that was a full size Rams and not in the lighter Dakotas/Durangos which were like 3/8 ton trucks like the S10/Blazer and Ranger which had V6s. The ram is easily 500lbs heavier for the regular cab alone and I know my QC Dakota is around 4800, which was as heavy as they came for the 97-04 gen. Thats why Dodge made the 4,7 dual spark plug per cylinder, like the hemis and bumped to power/tq figures to handle the heavier redesign in 05.

When I departed with mine it was 247,000 miles and the only problem it had was the rear axle I BENT offroading like a boss (Mine came with the composite skid pans in the undercarriage) I miss it I really do.

@@Bryan916 Thanks for the link. info. there was not 100%. Parts match up and spec. out of date for my year. I'll keep searching. Thank U again for helping. Stay Safe.

@@smkdude26 From my years of experience working on the 4.7 I'm 100% sure all 4.7 in North America are 287s so it's safe to buy 4.7 parts listed with with an engine displacement of 287ci

Yes

I don't think so some are 4.7 some are 5.7

Click the link then skip the video ahead to 16:55. I tried to start it and it was pretty obvious the motor was trashed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7CimbGZqr_bgX0.html

O..... Enough said!

No Kidding!

Were you able to get that information?

Is it possible to go from a 5.7 to 4.7

Yes swap over the flywheel an exhaust manifold and it should be fine.

@@Bryan916 is the tranny not the same? Do I have to use the one in the dakota?

about 3 hours to get the engine out!

​@Bryan916 where did you bolt up the chain off the front of the block and where in the rear

​@@jacobjarvis2545 im wondering the same thing ??

@daman737 you can either use a strap and go from the exhaust manifolds or pull the intake and bolt the chain to the back of the head and front acc drive. Just watch the valve covers bc they can be weak and brittle if you go from the exhaust manifolds and you will have to wiggle and jiggle the engine back and forth and will be high on 1 side if you chain it front to back. It's what I had to do

Only 02-03

like 3 hours to remove it.

Thanks

That's my plan, 4.7 is at 147k now but I'm ready for a change

@@357RedG you'll like the change, especially if you go with a hemi

A trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

@Jesiah Quincy Yea, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)

I mean motor mounts

Sitting on a flat surface would help make the job a little easier but it wouldn't prevent you from installing your motor. Make sure you have the correct mounts. beware of cheap mounts that don't work as well. Also try loosening up the transmission mounts to help the engine and trans come together.

@@Bryan916 ok thank you for the tips I will set it on a flat surface and double check the mounts i did get them from a Amazon vendor

I paid 35.00 a peice.

It will set a check light if the ECM does not see EGR input. You would have to have the ECM reprogram without EGR!

Orlando Corona Can't remember maybe 13mm

So I did and engine swap on my 2007 jeep grand Cherokee in getting it to crank but doesn't fully turn over not sure if its electrical issue with my grounds I hear my fuel pump turning on any suggestions?

Orlando Corona you gotta check for fuel, spark and compression. See which ingredient is missing and then take it from there.

Ok so I check all of that I got everything but spark I've checked my realys fuses everything I could think of crankshaft positioning sensor cam sensor I'm getting a p0335 code I'm stuck ... the ground behind the heads what does it ground? Advise would be greatly appreciated

Orlando Corona Replace the crankshaft position sensor which is likely the problem, but it could be a wiring issue also. so check Supply voltage, ground, and sensor signal.

Keep it nice and cool, never allow the temp to pass 210!

Add head gasket sealer now!

My 4.7 has 300k and hasn’t skipped a beat lol!!

My friend has an 08 Durango with 4.7. The engine blew a head gasket. We changed his oil because there was coolant in it and bought some cheap head gasket sealer and put it in there. No more smoking. He has about 170k on it.

also bc i think i have a lifter that failed

@@erickmorales6381 change the lifters , had lifters fail on me

It's a good motor till you heat it up, or reach high mileage then it pretty much self-destructs

Bryan916 yeah i told him not to buy the piece of junk but he didn't listen...and it already needs brakes, heater core and a new a/c compressor...then of course a new engine and a set of remanned heads in the near future...
