Think guys.All of you that are having problems with your 4.7L/45RFE
combo,just think whats gonna happen when you get a 3.7 in a 2002 Dakota.
Yuppers,more running hot,etc..Just like whats happening to Will.
I have never been too sure about the 4.7,and now with this new 3.7
coming,well...makes me glad i have my 3.9 Magnum V6.
the 3.9L,the 5.2L,and the 5.9 are proven engines.Gutsy,dependable.
Totally worthy of the name MAGNUM.
sorry,but the 4.7 and the new 3.7 just wont be IMHO.
