Default NEW MOTOR

I bought an '02 Ram 1500 4.7L a little over a yr. ago. Well just recently without warning the motor went. I babied this thing so I know it couldn't have been anything I did. Anyone hear of problems like this and how much would a new 4.7L engine cost??[:@]

unsure on the cost to replace. depending on the damage a rebuild might be a cheaper option. if you have to replace might look at a hemi and get a few more ponies out of it.

I agree wih spfd308......If you have to replace, go for the hemi.


Good Luck and keep us updated

yeah the hemi is actually cheaper to make so if you are buying straight from the factory a replacement hemi should cost less and get you more power.
