Hello from the Land of Aghan
Hey all,
Just chilling in Afghanistan on business. I own a 2005 Dakota SLT with the 4.7L V8 and 4WD, have had her for about 3 years now and she's still kicking, although everytime I come back from deployment it seems the valve springs are worn (wonder why that is?)...so, I figured why not get a new valvetrain this time around? I ordered some H/O cams and necessary hardware like stronger springs and retainers and even some new lifters two weeks back, they arrived a few days ago to my house in PA. Can't wait to get back and put those suckers in! I have a good idea of what direction I want to go with my truck, but any and all suggestions, comments, questions, and/or concerns are welcome :]
