yes ABS crontrols your torque management, and from 06 and above most dodge dakotas have it installed, if you ever get in your truck and turn it on, and you see a slippery little car on ur dash board that lights up red, you have TM. TORQUE MANAGEMENT, and it CAN NOT be turned off by a dealer, only by a aftermarket programmer. sorry but its not in your torque converter mostly, its the abs not letting the other wheel spin, if one dosent both wont, hope that makes some kind of sence...

I dont get that light...ever. I hit black ice at 70km a few days ago, and nothing. I saved her luckily, if not Id A: Rolled over after going of the road. or B: Slammed into parked cars that stopped to help someone who went off already.

Now the 2011 Caravan I use at work sometimes, it comes on ALL the time. even for a little bit of slip

Wow. This thread went horribly off topic. I'd actually be interested in finding out more differences in the engines.

Didn't the newer 08+ 4.7s come with 16 spark plugs?

yes they did and depending on which dealer i went to they told me it was to help burn the flex fuel or for a more efficient burn. my buddies 6.1L hemi also has 16 plugs, but thats only because the valves are retarded big and wont allow for one centrally mounted spark plug.
