John, those numbers are only there not to disturb the R/T advertisement and
owners. The real truth is the dyno, John. Put both trucks on the Dyno Jet
and you will see that they both pull almost the same at the wheel. The only
exception is the 4.7 pulls the TQ through out the RPM range versus the R/T
quick TQ duration.
Why would ChryCo do this? MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I know, I have done it on my truck and did a comparo and the results are
there to prove it.

Subject: Re: DML: 5.9 availability
Stock for stock the 4.7 kicks out 295 lb./ft. torque, the 5.9 puts 335
lb./ft. torque. I run 4wd and tow. 'Nuff said for me...
BTW, my truck up and decided its got bawlz over the last couple of days.
Dunno why, just feels like it wants to suck the hood in the way it's pulling
lately. I've actually gotten the *fronts* to chirp on occasion - w00t! That,
and a consistent 14 mpg. Sumpin's up when the 4x4 gets to feelin' froggy
8-).
Ron: I think I can get 220 rwhp out of this thing with standard SpeedTweaks
tricks and without a custom PCM. I want to join the Fast4x4 club. Wish me
luck ;-).
Joke of the day - "The 5.9L Magnum V8 engine with 250 horsepower* is the
ultimate choice for strength and reliability. Standard on Dakota R/T and
available on Quad Cab, this efficient engine...". Heh, heh, he said
"efficient", heh heh... them Dodge boys is funny.
