Josh, how many rpm's are you running? I have the 3.92 gear,the 5-spd,and the
255/65 (28")tires. I figured it out on the calculator and at 70 I would turn
2470,and 80 I ould turn right at 3000.Seems like a lot to me! I have to say
though,that other than the unsteady idle/stalling problem,and it getting
warm on me, I haven't had any problems with it yet! I am still waiting on a
headgasket to blow! ATTN 4.7L owners-DO NOT ever let your engine overheat!
If you get these engines to about 220-230 degrees, you can just about count
on a head gasket getting blown! If or when the first headgasket blows, I
will sell it immediately and buy something else.I am not willing to deal
with that! Glad to hear yours is till doing well,though! TTYL,
Will Coughlin willcoughlin@hotmail.com

Just have to say that DC did a good job when they built the 4.7 I just got
back from putting on 5000 miles in the last 6 days, with a lot of 75-95 mph
driving, and I never had to add a drop of oil. I checked it every day, and
it never left the full mark. I am running Mobil1, that may be part of it,
but I was still impressed....
