Not much else can be done tune up wise as everything else is computer controlled. We can tweak performance up to a point butuntil such time as we have programmers that's about it.

SO 4X4....

You ARE a techincian, right?

If so, then you would have known that the 4.7L's haven't been using plug wires since at LEAST 2001... that's how old my mom's Durango is, and when I changed the plugs, guess what...

It's plug on coil.... aka... no wires...

Come on technician man...
