So, my wife is due in march, our second kid. My daughter is 3 today. We were talkn yesterday about how we need a second vehicle. My wive loves mytruck and i love how safe i feel wen her and my kid are in it. This morning she asked me if we could get another ram for her............. saweet. my truck will be payed off n january. and i can afford up to a 16000$ truck and still be banking the truck payment i will no longer have. She wants- A 3rd gen, needs 4 doors, i want here to have a 4x4 but she dont care, and under 60k miles. Now heres the hard part. She originally wanted a v6. So after searching around there are almost no 4 door v6's that and the mileage on them is almost as bad at the v8. i had to explain that the engine will have to work twice as hard to move the truck therfore.......bad mileage so i narrowed it down to either another hemi or a 4.7. This is were you guys come in. I know there is people on here w/ 4.7's and love em.................or hate em. My question it with all the head problems ive heard of on the 4.7's should i stay away from em? Is there any differences on the 4.7's from 2003-2008? and since i already have my loud hemi. her truck is gunna be the one that everything i do to it will be for mileage. so any tips? 4.7?-hemi? and strickly mpg improvements? Thanks n advance
