Okay, Sam. I know you like your 5-speeds like me. If you are going to get
the 4.7, get the 5 speed. It loves the 5 speed even more than the earlier
Magnum motors. Get the 5 speed and the 3.92's, particularly with the taller
tires on a Ram, and you will not regret it. The 4.7 is borderline for the
weight of a Ram, and if you get the auto, I bet you'll regret it.
