I like to be itching for a pain the a**. Would like to build my 4.7. nothing fancy for now just a casual build as it goes. Starting with addressing the weak points that make people feel these are junk. Personally had no ill experience with one. My first time owning one but a buddy had one for 10+ years with no issues at all, atleast major. Im aware of not over heating them, and i think i read something about the valve train or something going bad? All and any input is appreciated.

 

I updated my cams throttle body and injectors left the stock bottom end and push a 125 shot of nitrous through it, finally blew up after 218000 miles I also raced my truck. .

 

yea i looked at updating the lifters just to be safe and maybe getting some HO cams not sure if im limited on options having the flexfuel or mostly itll be a null issue

 

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but maybe...

Definitely more information there, biggest thing i run into is having the FFV engine, looks like Chrysler rated them different not sure if thats purely a programming thing or if the hard parts very some as well. Buddy has what we believe is an HO from an 04 Grand Cherokee still waiting to locate the VIN to confirm. Might be able to grab the cams cheap looking at the HP ratings between the two im guessing there will be some gains

 

If you have the VIN, you can look it up here: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing
