impressed so far with the 4.7L. Haven't heard anything about a sludge

Yeah, but did you look at where that power is made? The 5.9 makes it's
horsepower and torque at lower rpms than the 4.7 and in my opinion is better
suited to the Ram. And the 5.9 makes 10 more horsepower (245 vs 235) and 40
more lb-ft of torque (335 vs 295).
I love my 4.7 but I owned a Ram and would never put in a Ram. Too much
weight for a motor better left to lighter (Dakota) sized trucks.
