Hey Welcome to the List! Hope you find that right truck soon! How high
do you consider High mileage? I've got about 15,000 on my 4.7, Not a
hiccup yet (knocking on wood). LOVE this engine! I get 18 - 20 MPG on
the highway and 14 -17 in the city (depending on if I'm broke or have the
need for speed:-)

| Subject: Hi DML:New member 4.7 question
|
|
| Hi DML
| Just joined list; wanted to introduce myself.
| Mike Koch in
| North Tonawanda, Western NY (between Buffalo & Niagara
| Falls). Also belong
| to the MML (71 Challenger R/T). I don't have a Dakota as of
| yet but I'm
| obsessively looking. I'm looking at either a used 97-00 4x4
| CC SLT or biting
| the bullet and buying new. The truck will be my daily driver
| to/from work
| around 50mi round trip so gas mileage is a concern.
| My question: is the 4.7L a reliable V8/match
| trans--does
| anyone have one with high mileage. I've driven the 4.7 and am very
| impressed.
| Also want to thank Todd Abernathy's Buying
| Price response,
| very helpful info in my situation.
| Well hopefully I can contribute to the list
| members in the
| future.
