4.7 V8 owners just might want to take note:
Actually, NO aluminum head engine is immune to it but some seem to drop the seats at lesser over-heat temps than others. From what I'm reading, the 4.7s are about THE MOST unforgiving as 220'ish seems to be enough...
I'd have to wager that sometimes **** just happens. My first 4.7 in a 2000 Dak went 250k miles withouth any mechanical issues. Even drove from Mobile, AL to Atlanta with a leaky radiator after a rock nailed it on the interstate.
Had an 03 RC with a 4.7 that went 150k miles when I sold it. No problems with it either. Both of them still ran like raped apes.
