I don't see a sticker anywhere in the engine bay or in the glove box. How do I find what cu.in I have ?

2000 Dakota SLT Club Cab. (4 door)
V-8 engine - 4.7 or 5.9 ?

 

What's your VIN? Check the 8th character. N is the 4.7 and Z is the 5.9.

Or, if you see a distributor, you have the 5.9. The 4.7 has COP.

If you have 4 doors you have a Quad Cab. Character 7 should be an A for Quad Cab.

The regular and club cab both have two doors. There is a back seat on the club cab.

 

Great, I'll look at the vin # tomorrow. I really appreciate your information !

Is the 4.7 L the 318 cu. ?
and the 5.9 L the 360 cu. ?

 

318 is the 5.2 liter found in dakotas up to 2000. The 4.7 liter is its replacement found in dakotas 2000 and up. It is a much more refined motor, more power and better fuel mileage. The 5.9 is the 360 motor. I would be willing to bet your truck is the 4.7. Does it say R/T anywhere on it?

 

have you ever used google image? there is a very clear difference between the 2 motors. just saying.

 

5.9 Notice how the air hat is round and on top of the engine.

4.7 its a square and mounts from the side not the top.

Also the 4.7 doesnt use a oil cap on the valve cover like the 5.9 does.


Fill this out and put your email and they will send you a build sheet for your entire truck in a day. You will know everything it came with!

Ok, with all your information, it's the 4.7 L.

"N" in the vin number.
Square hat.
No oil cap on the valve cover.

A search reads that 4.7 liter = to 286 cu.in ?

 

Gotta love search engines.

 

Yeah the 4.7 replaced the 5.2(318) Offers about the same power but added mpg.

 

Why the hell do these fairly small 4.7L engines get so bad with mpg ?
(A friend said,..because it's a Dodge)

A lot of the full size trucks get better mpg !
