RE: Sludge still a problem on new 4.7L?
i hate the 4.7 gas milage sucks and the thing has no power 98% of the time
never heard of engine sludge but when i put that oil additive in it i had a valve ticking so i had to drain the oil and put a lighter weight in it
my truck is a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4 auto with this motor and i hate it

Guys i agree with you my 4.7 is just fine, you have to remember its just 287 c.i.!
and right at 7000 lbs is quite a lot of weight to get moving, not counting if you have a set of mudders and keep a full tank of gas. That puts the weight at 7500-7600?
I once got behind a qc with the hemi on the freeway and we started going at it down the road so i pulled its ears back and held to the floor, the hemi did pull away from me, but not like i had expected, when we went up a pretty steep hill the hemis extra torque was what helped it pull away from me but on level ground i was NOT blown away as i thought i would be! For the record i love DODGE products, if i could get a hemi, straight, without the mds i would today.

I agree popps68. I too had ran with a buddy of mine who has the hemi RC and he didn't leave me. I don't really care for the big mudders specially on a 4x2. I have the 4x2 and its a QC with the 4.7 6 speed and 3.92 gears and it does fine. I would of bought the Hemi one they had but sorry to say they don't make it with a stick. I like changing my own gears. That's why I'm converting my 92 camaro soon.
