i was going to buy a hemi, but just couldnt find a 5 speed with the 5.7, so i got the 4.7. I HATE automatics, no offense to anybody.

 

I don't care manual or automatic but even if I did I would have rather had a Hemi auto over a baby 4.7 manual, no offense

Drove my uncles 2012 Dodge Ram 4.7 and what a dog compared to my 02 Ram 5.9

As for the Rev. question, why would anyone go out and rev the crap out of their truck, just leads to problems later on when treating a motor like that, I know from experience lol in my work truck

 

Float those valves! Dude, your gonna spin a bearing one of these days....

 

like i said in my other post, just tried it once too see cuz never heard anybody else talk about it, and then went back to 150 above stock limiter.it reved crisp and clean when i did it, but that dosent mean the valves didnt float some.maybe one day ill look into building one that can rev that high comfortablly all day long and change out the rear gear. just maybe, if its possible.

 

Your gonna catch all kinds of Heck about this thread

 

Gonna? He already has. Maybe not the smartest thing but ive done plenty of dumb stuff just to see what happened or bc i was curious. I get it. Cool info, even if i wouldnt have done it.

 

Who hasnt done something just to see the outcome lol! We would never learn...


And at CullyBoy its cool we get it you were just looking to see what people had done, but just remember alot of people that baby there trucks or just dont do dumb stuff to their trucks are gonna have a field day when they see this thread.

 

True, but some of us don't baby our trucks, but also don't try to window the block...

 

valves floated bunches. cam it if you wanna rev out that high. plus when does a stock cam in those 4.7's stop making power? Im not a fan of the 4.7's either.. Seen a lot of them with spun bearings.. from people winding em out n stuff.

 

Any motor you treat bad is eventually going to crap out, just dont go marking time off your block by doing stuff like this. Cause id know id be pissed to say i blew my motor revving it up in the drive way.....
