    4.7L Questions (This engine needs love, too)

    A lot of people can't afford the time or money to swap in a Hemi (like me) and I have no problem keeping my 4.7. But now it's rebuild time with over 250k+ miles on him, he's wearing down.

    Emission Hoses or Vacuum Hoses

    So, the hose that attaches to the back of the Air Box (The box hooked up to the throttle body), then attaches to t "T" that splits to both sides of the engine. I believe they attach to the Valve Covers(no longer called valve covers, I think). Are those are PCV hoses, or vacuum hoses? I can't...

    Door hinge pins & Bushings

    Hello all, I found on eBay door hinge pins and bushings for the 2004 to 2008 body. They claim that it will not work for my 2002. So my question is oh, is that true or will they work. Since the 2002 the 2008 we're basically the same doors, I thought they would still work so that's all I'm wondering.

    A different A/C issue

    A couple of years ago, I took my 99 1500 to a shop and told them to have a look at the A/C. Back story, I bought this 1999 1500 back in 2013, Buy Here/Pay Here, so it didn't have a working A/C. Anyway, I had this shop take a look to see what the issue was, but I figured that it was the...

    Engine Swap

    Okay, I know that this will be a stupid question, but one never knows with the connections with ECM and sensors, etc. Besides changing the ECM is it a direct swap when going from a 5.2 to a 5.9? And how many different type of sensor changes will need to be made?
