depending how much (if any) they took out of the heads and/or block, it may have changed compression ratio. doubt that, though. I would say that maybe they messed up the ignition timing, but the 4.7 is a COP ignition, it would be way off if they had coils crossed or something.

Yea, its strange cuz its not running bad at all either.

Edit:

try the keydance. Flip the key on-off 3 times and leave it on, and it should show a P code in the odometer. or have autozone scan for free.

Flex Plate maybe? I unplugged each coil pack one by one & knock never stopped, someone said that was a way to check if it was a connecting rod issue
