Im looking at a 2002 ram 1500 5.9 or a 2004 ram 1500 5.7. What will handle better? Pros and cons to each engine? Thanks
I think the majority of votes will be for the 5.7. I'm assuming both are auto trans and 4x4. Hemis will net you more power, but IMO mods are more expensive. 5.9 (360)s are pretty cheap and easy to work on. I miss my old '95 5.9 w/ 5spd. What do you plan on doing with the truck? The 02 should be solid front axle, but I'm not sure about the 04. What's the mileage, etc of each? Is there you're leaning towards?

... 5.9 (360)s are pretty cheap and easy to work on. ...
... You will most likely be happier with the hemi between the power and mileage (if you can keep your foot out of it). ...
I would say the hemi all day long the 5.9 is fuel thirsty compared to the 5.7
