2004 Dodge Ram Regular cab 4.7L V8

Cons:
- The 4.7 was the bastard child for dodge, it was old world engine design and yet was offered along side the hemi but was on its way out (ALSO VERY LITTLE aftermarket for the 4.7).
- The seats might as well have been a bench, there are no bolsters. This is exagerated while driving over rough terrain.
- NO LIMITED SLIP DIFF - only came on hemi's
- Cylinder 8 spark plug is buried underneath the dash/firewall, 2 universal joints in a ratchet to change it.

Pros:
- Manual transmission (not available with the hemi's until model year 09).
- LOTS of space behind the seats ( I had a custom speaker box that was close to 9 Cubic feet behind the seats and you still had full range with both passenger and driver seat).
- No need for lift/jack/ramps to change oil, can literally sit strait up under the car in the engine bay to take the filter/drain plug off.
- gets off the line faster than an auto hemi, have surprised a few cars..
