I'm glad to hear that about our new 4.7. Long lives the Dodge 318, 360, hell all of their past V8's were great runners! I only hope I get the same service from my 4.7

I made it to 174K on my '93 3.9L Dak before any major problems, Then the lower half of the engine exploded (3 pistons in diff directions out the oil pan), 2 transmissions, a transfer case and a rear Diff later, I finally gave up on the poor thing at 246K. It's growing rust in my back yard now while I drive my new (to me) '02 QC 4.7L 4X4! Hopin I get the same life out of my new Dak, already at 51K.

My teenager son drives 87 Dakota 3.9L with 188,000 miles on it. He only changes oil (when I remind him) and that's all. It runs smooth and passes smog without any problems.

My motor has almost 192,000 miles on it. I installed my supercharger when it had 142,000 miles on it. I have stomped on this motor for all its worth for the last 50,000 miles and it still runs hard with minimal oil burning and no valves tapping. My wife wont let me get a crate motor (Stroked 360) till this one blows up. It just keeps going.

Hey Oellrichm, I was looking for an aluminum radiator, that would fit with min mods, do you remember where you got yours and how well does it work, i contacted Griffin Radiators and they said they would build me one for 650.00 if i sent them my old one, a little steep if you ask me. i would like a lead on a good one.

Sorry about the delay oellrichm, So was the radiator a good looking quality made one? i'm sure it was if you stuck it in,and does it cool better than stock? i think i will call auto-zone today and see if they got one for my 94. I'll let you know what i find...and thanks a bunch for the info.
