So whats better?? Our 3rd or the "4th" GEN (if you can even call it 4).. Take into consideration, power, class,capability, and anthing else you can think of!!

 

you mean the new 08? Are they even calling it a new gen?

 

actually, i would have perfered the 2003 body style. i think there are more body kits and aftermarket body pieces avail. but i like my truck.

 

I like these trucks, but I like the 3valve per cylinder, 290HP, 320TQ version of the v8s.. I wonder what they did differently.

 

HA funny you mention the 03... Befor this truck guess what.. I had a 03 Dakota SXT.. Rolled 6 times 2 years ago in maine.. Didnt even have 20000 miles on it. I post pics tomarow. Thing had double ground clearance STOCK!

 

it said on one link that it was something like 9.5 compression and new combustion chamber, and lightweight rods and pistons

 

It's about time they start to power up the 4.7L. I think it's too underpowered as it is. I'm sure that won't be the standard 4.7 either.

 

according to the site it is the only 4.7

 

It also has 2 spark plus per cylinder (whatever that may do).

 

If the current Dak. style is only 2 1/2 model years old it isgoing to make it real difficult to get 3rd. party parts for it. It’s already hard to find items for the Gen3 as it is now. The Gen2s where pretty much the same for eight years and there is a ton of after market goodies for them but the current Gen3 is being changed already, what does that tell you. They are going in the right direction but it may leave the current style out in the cold and it really never took hold as far as marketing goes. They had to change for survival of the model. Strange but I like the Gen3 current grill better. The new bumper is so much nicer though. By the way notice that it was mentioned that the valve lash adjuster where redesigned. That was the problem that made the clacking noise in so many 4.7s. They won’t admit a problem by they emphasize the fact that the lash adjuster have been redesigned in the new 4.7 Humm.
