Thank you sir, you and your brother are a good team, smart to stick to a certain model and engine type, skills are MAD,,,thx for taking the time to share, very informative, and well spoken.....

I got a 2002 4.7 magnum. It overheated years back it went over a year before it start showing signs of blown gasket. Had top end rebuilt along with timing chain before it became an issue. I do have a Chrysler tick now but it's 267000 miles now still starts runs drives and I'm hauling 37's on 14 wides. Love my ram. Had it over 8 years now. Trans still holding together too. Guess I'm just lucky

Never had problems with my 4.7 I got 360,000 Still going all original do all my work myself

I love the Durango ideal and love your old truck I’m a huge fan of 3rd gens I’ve had 3 just love the style

My 02 4.7 with 196k still runs like it did off the show room floor

The 4.7 is a good motor if you take good care of it. I changed out all my lifters at 100 thousand to avoid the broken head problem. I have the manual six speed in mine and the gear ratios are set up good for towing. It’s no powerhouse but it is reliable. The manual shifts smooth as butter. I have no dislikes about my truck. Now my wife’s Grand Cherokee is a monster with the 5.7 in it. Mileage isn’t real good but not bad if you drive it nicely. But if you have to move it is a neck snapper.

I'm pretty happy with my 4.7 ram, mine gets a mile or two better a gallon than the 5.7 ones, only draw back is it doesn't have as much grunt. But it gets down the road pretty good when I need it to.

2nd Gen "The New Dodge" were the best looking -Rams- Trucks ever made. Sadly, especially in my area, They're non-existent or have shed about 500lbs of their body & another 300lbs of their frame. 3rd Gen Rams are getting close to that same scenario except they made 18 Billion of the things & sold every last one of em. Love that Monster Durango. Which is ALSO the Best looking -Durango- Mid-Size SUV ever made.

My 2004 4.7 runs and purrs, some work done along the way, towed 8 12ft trailer loads from Cal to Arizona no problem,,,,,@ 230k mi. today.

05 dakota 4.7 223k all original except water pump . Runs good and i love it other then the electrical on it is well always a issue

SOHC layout vs Pushrod. a Coyote is a DOHC, the Ford Tritons loved to eat up Chain guides. I've talked with numerous Dodge Mechanics and one in particular that works in Canada/Michigan and had a Hemi Swap Clinic during Moparty a couple years ago. Drop valve seats in both the 5.7 and 4.7 is due to extreme overheating. Not just a few degrees warmer but running them to 250-280 degrees. There's plenty of mechanics that dislike the 4.7, because they worked on so many of them from people who abused them and didn't maintain them, they just naturally didn't want to have them personally. A 4.7 might "drop valve seats" and roller/rocker arms. BUT a 4.7 doesn't come standard with a valve train tick after 20k miles. Though most complaints are from the owners/mechanics of a 4.7 in a 1500 Ram, which were dogs due to the power:weight and gearing. I'm at 125k on my 2004 Dakota, I hear more people bashing the transmissions than the 4.7 lol Guy who helped me do plugs and coils was shocked at how responsive my truck was.

Your video was very helpful and had a lot of good info! Anyway you could answer some questions for me about swapping a 4.7 into a 5.7??

How do you fix the leak if its stripped on the 4.7l?

gen 3 , 5.7 hemi is one of the best engines ever, 2004 before mds is my prefered.

Will changing the bearing hubs help gas mileage? Lol . I have a real question. My 2005 5.7 2wd has the ebrake light on and abs, is the a failed c clip in the differential? Is it causing a magnetic sensor to keep those lights on? I just picked up the ram and the owner said those lights been on for years but it drives nice and looks clean. Suspension is all shot. Are you located in ca?

Trying to get one saving some money for one💪

Is it just me noticing or did he make a video about 3rd gen rams in a cateye Silverado?

Have an 04 Dakota 4.7, but I want to swap to a 5.7 Hemi what year range is best fit?

Thank you very much for making this video. I have a RAM 2002 with the 4.7 motor combined with the "45FRE" 4 speed transmission. - Can I drop a 5.7 hemi into that truck and use that 45FRE transmission with it?... Thank you.

My 4.7 has 300k on it, runs like new, 20+ mpg highway, and I've only done 02 sensors, changed the oil using Mobil 0w40 euro blend because I live in Alaska so no thick oils up here! It's true though, I've worked on many many 4.7 and 3.7 and Hemis and early magnum 318 and 360s and the 2 most common problems on all of them is #1 not changing the oil on time or using inferior oil and filters. #2 overheating and continuing to drive. That's about it as far as engines. As far as the rest of the ram series bodies, drive train, suspension, brakes, all very high quality if fluids are checked and changed at book intervals . Most people never see the underside of their truck untill catastrophic failure occurs, but you can save a ton of money if you do!😂😂😂😂

Iv got a 2005 1500 slt 4x4 4.7l with 219,000 miles on it no check engine light and has been bullet proof for me it's over heated pretty hot and survived but it really needs rebuilt or swapped as it barely has enough power to even move the truck but keeps on trucking lmao

2002 didnt have the hemi wish i had known but i got my trusty money put 4.7 lol

I have a 2005 1500 ram 4x4 5.7 hemi and took it in for an engine code. They said it’s a spark plug in cylinder 2 so I said just replace all the spark plugs. Now after driving the check engine light came back on , took it back and they Said it’s just a sticky lifter and will go away when you get on the highway for awhile. Do I need new lifters or is the spark -plug not in spec.. I put in some additives that made the code go away but it came back

I've had both 2006 5.7 Hemi and 2002 I have right now with the 4.7 and I got a good deal on it because it's typically people don't change the oil and it sludges up which is an issue with the 4.7 and it pushed out of lifter so took the valve cover off put the lifter back Ran some transmission fluid through it transmission fluid has a lot of detergent in it and cleaned it out real good I never had any issues only difference to me is get more power with the 5.7 then the 4.7

4.7 can make good power when boosted the most I’ve seen was 700whp+ on a Jeep single turbo

Both engines have their drawbacks. The beauty of dodge is that you can swap a 5.2 ( 318) 5.9 (360) 3.7/ 4.7 or any Hemi in the ram series and also the iron V10 or the Viper all aluminum V10. But like I say they all have their drawbacks, the Hemi got vvt and MDS both have a high failure rate, ive seen brand new Hemis of all displacements explode with 20k miles on them and had to be replaced under warranty. I prefer the early 5.7 without all the crap on em, they last! Same with the 4.7 and 3.7, early ones are fantastic as long as you don't use crap oil in them and change it at 3k like your supposed to, they run extremely hot so bleeding the cooling system per mopar spec is extremely important otherwise you get dropped valve seats , sludge that blocks the timing chain tensioner especially on the passenger side for some reason and that will destroy your engine with valves poking through piston tops! The 4.7 is a fantastic engine if used as intended, it's not a hot rod engine but it certainly has great potential as one with a few upgrades such as high volume oil pump from a hellcat, which should be standard on all dodge V8s, it has been determined by many Dodge techs and engineers thar the failures in both the 3.7 ,4.7 , and all hemis except hellcats suffer from top end valvetrain oil starvation. Otherwise the bottom end on all these engines are the shining star of Dodge, I can't say enough good things about the balancing and machine tolerances of the blocks, cranks, the cracked cap rods, main saddles, and bores, simply very high quality.

My 4.7 had oil pressure issues, blew out white smoke when cold, and just dropped a valve seat last week. Danmit. Getting quotes of $2k for a used 4.7 with 150k miles on it... no way.

Are all the 4.7s engines the same? I hardly ever find an article or a video about the last generation of the 4.7 Magnum. Got it on my 2010 Ram 1500, seems a pretty decent engine, not a Hemi, but still okey, it takes me from point A to B easily. I'm aware they did some upgrading to the 4.7 before it went out of production back in 2013, but nobody talks about it. BTW here in Chile the 4.7 isn't that usual to see, compare to the 3.7.

I just picked up a 08 single cab Long bed for $800

My 06 4.7 just hit 140,000

360 Magnum's are bulletproof and some of the best sounding V8's ever made.

Do you know what was the last year the hemi 5.7 was made. I think they are all 4.7 turbocharged now

4.7 need to change oil alot with 5w-30 not any thicker ..clean flow oil...ticket !! 4.7

I have too many 3rd gens too. Check out mine

Love when people think theres a difference between dodges reintroduced "hemi" and the magnum... there isnt... They just rebranded the magnum as hemi. The real hemis were built in the 60s and 70s.

Do you have a 4 7 motor

4.7 are more reliable than the 5.7 hemi
