4.7

I just swapped out all of my rocker arms, lifters (lash adjusters), and spark plugs. I did have to rotate the engine (clockwise) to get to all the lifters. I'm putting everything back together now. Do I need to do anything before I start her up since I was moving the engine forward? I noticed...

So I had the issue of going up to speed it would skip a beat and feel like a cough. Well I took it to my mechanic and of course it didn't do it for them. They looked at my plugs and said that could be the issue so I replaced the plugs and it ran great for a few days and now it's back again but...

Replaced lifters the other day. During installation, plastic bits fell into head. I got as much out as possible, not sure if I removed all of it. 5 days have gone by and now I have a major tick out of no where. Pulled valve cover and far back lobe is scored. Pulled lifter and rocker, rocker...

So I bought the V8 4x4 but I'm realizing that I wish I had bought a Prius. On highway I'm lucky to get 8mpg. It's a typical well maintained Colorado truck with about 155k miles. I was wondering what tips, fixes, anything that can help with mpg and maybe even power. Being a teen, I am open to...

01 dakota 4.7 barely running, smells super rich. Was told it needed head gaskets, but have goodone compression and coolant system holds pressure. Has codes p0351 and p0356. Changed coil #1 to #7 with no change. Cyl #1 still no contribution. Any ideas where to go?

So to start out, I have a 2000 Dakota with the 4.7 and 275k on it. It started running a little odd a few months ago. It would buck, or kick, when going up a hill or driving into a strong headwind (I live in KS, we have a lot of those!). The check engine light has always been on for one reason...

Hi im new to the forum and ive been driving a Dakota for almost 3 years now and until now never had any problems out of it. Well upon doing some research i think i own one of the 1280 motorsports edition Dakotas made in 2001. Im just not for sure how to know for sure if it is a motorsports...

So I have a 2001 4.7 4x4 83000 miles automatic trans. So I took it to my oil change shop and wanted my tranny flushed cuz I just bought it.. They said they "pulled the line and no fluid was being pumped" he thought my tranny pump was out. I thought it was interesting because it drives and...

Just got a 2001 4x4 slt 4.7 and I want to change my exhaust I found a "thrush welded" that's a knock off flowmaster I want it to sound deep and louder then stock but not insane and annoying from inside the cab with the windows up!! Should I keep my Cat on? I do have to go through Washington...
