this is the third dodge ive owned but the first with the 4.7l. i think this motor is trash, no power and expensive problems. i have put a few performance parts on it ie. exhaust, cold air, jet chip, throttle body spacer. i havent used the truck much off-road and im very easy on it ( i never rev it above 4k) i loved my other trucks and never had any problems with them, i guess its just this model, i hope. i think im going ford next though, maybe chevy.
