2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Engine Swap 4.7L Part 1

http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
This truck has been a challenge for me over the past couple of weeks as you will seen in the video. The lesson here is do your best to check the engine out before you install it and even that may not be enough. Be careful when doing a job like this especially if you are by yourself as you can get seriously injured if your not careful so work carefully and methodically and things should work out fine.

what was the mills on it and is the 4.7 a junk engine i got one in my truck the old guy at work has a 1996 with 25000 and it still runs

[EricTheCarGuy]

@heckathornmike86 Honestly I don't remember the mileage and they didn't tell me the mileage for the new engine sorry.

Hey Eric, I recently "encountered" severe engine chatter in my 2004 3.7 Dakota, 5spd. Will be replacing engine. Would you know if it would matter if the donor engine is coming from an automatic?

[EricTheCarGuy]

@daniells71 It SHOULN'T matter however sometimes there are differences in emission controls, it's probably not a big deal if that's the case as you should be able to swap things over.

i saw that grape soda. it's the shit

[6speeddakota]

I have the 4.7 in my dakota, it gets a decent amount of highway towing use, but regular synthetic oil changes and it's run for 56K miles without a single hiccup or issue whatsoever. I love it aside from the lousy fuel mileage

[sc38converter]

i have the 4.7 in my durango. and i have the timing chain curse. never let your girlfriend drive your truck, she will destroy it in a month. timing chain, heads and transmission im rebuilding all my self

[hom2fu]

What's wrong with the engine and how many mileage. Because the v8 tend to last forever. do Chrysler sux
