Default 4.7l missfire

hey guys, I have an 06 ram with a 4.7 and I keep getting a #7 cylinder misfire. I changed the plugs, coils, injector, swapped themm all around, ohms checked all the wires to the coils and injectors. Still misfiring on #7 but only at interstate speeds. any ideas?

Has it ever been overheated at all? If not mechanical failure due to over heating and you have done everything as said above then it is electrical

I was just gonna ask if you checked for coolant in #7 before I read your latest post. The 4.7 is known for it in one thats over-heated, but it's quite rare if the engine hasn't...

There was a guy, horseapples, or something like that, that had a set of heads laying around he was going to let ME get when I was dealing with my 4.7 with the blown head gaskets and everything....


Could try to find him and see if he still has them? lol. It was a while ago though =\
