anyone else here ever deal with the 4.7?

Knock on wood, my 2000 Dakota SLT with the 4.7 has been amazing. 154,000k
Only issue for us was the a couple of the pins melted at the engine control module and left us stranded for a tow.
That was about 3 years ago and after the fix it has been super.
Also, I maintain it like the owners manual wants.
