Looking for a few people who can help me with a few questions about my dak.
currently have the 4.7L in my dak, blew a rod bearing after the fan clutch went out, new radiator, therm, and fan clutch. flowmaster super44 exhaust with short turndowns, high flow cat, K&N cai, 72mm tb, and superchips tuning all are awaiting install. is it more practical to spend the insane amount of money on a crate 4.7L (2-2,500$$) or to buy a 5.9L for a grand less and upgrade it? which provides more bang for the buck? all answers welcome

 

I would say that there is no replacement for displacement, but I will move this to the second generation Dakota section,

If ur old tranny will mount to it I would say go with the 5.9 if not then that's more money your going to have to spend to do the swap. You have to think about everything beforehand so you don't get in too deep and realize you are going to spend twice as much as you would like

 

Get rid of the Fan/clutch...if you have the elec. fan that is.

Id go Cummins, but yea, poor Dak would break...
