4.7 compared to 5.2
If I remember correctly the 4.7 makes 5hp more then the 5.2 but 10ft/lbs of torque less.
They are pretty comparable. I have a 5.2 in my 98 Dakota club cab 4x4 and raced my brothers quad cab 2001 4x4 and I could pull him slightly but he is heavier.
No engine issues with either truck he had to have a new transmission due to some screws that hold a plate on the sid eof the valve body and retains the solenoids in backing out but otherwise all good.
He gets a few more mpg then I do. I do like the way his new tranny shifts then my older one. Makes the truck seem much quicker and snappier.
