im going from a 97 dakota extended cab with a 3.9 to a 03 quad cab with the 4.7. how do you guys with the 4.7 like it? is there alot of power..fast at all?? i mean im use to the v6 so anything has power and is fast compared to my truck but what are your guys thoughts on the 4.7?

 

night and day difference, everyone on ehre with the 4.7 loves it.. youre not making a bad decision

 

whats the 4.7 got for horse power anyone know?

 

245/290tq (i believe)

and i went from a 3.9 dak to a 4.7 durango and the difference is AWESOME


sooooo much more power w/ the v8, you will NOT regret it, I PROMISE

 

I owned a 95 dak with the 3.9 5-speed, it was definitely a fun truck. But the 4.7 with the 6-speed would eat its lunch for sure.

 

You will notice a big difference. my mom has a 4.0 l6 in her jeep and my dad has a 4.7 in his jeep. When you drive my moms the pedal is like to the floor and when you get in my dads you barely touch the pedal and you are flying.

 

im waiting for rt2001dakota to post here saying to get a dakota with a 5.9L just because its so much more and better and it will make your truck fly and give your gf an orgasim while its sitting in the driveway idleing at a billion degrees of a million horsepower!!!!!

HOLY HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!

 

I have to say that my '02 4.7, 5-speed is one of the most fun vehicles I've ever owned. It has a LOT of power, revs high and sounds great with loud pipes.

My Cherokee had the HO 4 liter 6 and although it was a gutsy, bulletproof engine it definitely lacked any "wow factor".

Definitely a +1 for the 4.7 here.

 

4.7 FTMFW

and its rated (for 2001 at least) at 235/295

I have it and its great, I love having a 5 speed behind it also because it makes it THAT much more fun to drive. Pretty quick and as Czechman said, sounds good with a set of pipes on it

and to top all that, chances are you will get the same if not better mileage with it

basically to sum it up: DO IT!

 

the best part of having the V8 is getting on the gas and hearing the engine
with dakota's i have 3 a 4 banger the 6 and now the V8. the 4.7 is the most fun out of all 3. and 4 doors r nice for my kids. win win
