Thank you Steven,

Which has the better torque/mileage, the 5.2 Magnum, or the Powertech engine
4.7?

The dealer sells the V8 Magnum badge for the fenders for around 11.00 a
piece. It has a back stick side that will just about stick to any type of
surface. I will send a picture off-line that you may view it. It for the
V-8 Magnum line of engines (mainly 3.9, 5.2, and the big mama 5.9). Then
there is the return of what Jeep called it the Powertech engine 4.7. Not
really a magnum but return of the early Hemi that was modified for
efficiency. Note the head design and plug location. Dodge introduced this
engine in 2000 for the trucks as a replacement for the 5.2. I have the
Magnum badge and do not understand why Dodge carried over the badge
(probably for the Dollar & cents-someone else quote). The chrome badge can
be had from the Jeep line of Cherokees. It comes in either chrome or gold
color. Since it is small, I opting for the larger Tundra (bite my lip now)
V-8 chrome version and has a slant to the right. More visible at the
distant than the Jeep version and keeps the pesky compact ricer wanna-be and
trucks from wasting my fuel on the street.

Hi, I'm new to the list and planning on buying an 01 Dakota QC. Can someone
please tell me what the "Magnum V8" badging is, and what the chrome v-8
badge is.

Thanks.

Michael

No offense against the magnum engines, I am ripping mine off next week for
the chrome V-8 badge.

Yes,but you forgot 2 things...
You need to go to the parts shop,and pick up/order your "Magnum V8"
badging..

Then you will be just like us 2000 owners.

Stopped at my local dealer..seems they are getting quite a few owners of the

01 Dak's w/o the "engine badging"

Anyone have an educated guess as to why they made this decision?
