I had a 4.7 for about 4 years--finally got the hemi in my sig 2 weeks ago. Don't miss my 4.7 at all!

You did pretty good though, an 05 with 62k miles. Did you keep your 2nd gen or trade it in?

sadly, traded her in. I'm gonna miss that old beast, but I got rid of it at just the right time. just about everything on it was about to go.

you can definitely tell its got less horses, but the tranny does a good job compensating.. well at least in the mostly suburban are im in. still haven't got a chance to get it out into any rural areas.
