    4.7 Finally Dead. Future upgrade plans

    Hello everyone. Welp, my 4.7 finally kicked the bucket recently. Started with what sounded like piston slap, pulled the head, found some decent wear in cyl 7 along with the piston itself being easy to move and slapping along the bore causing the noise. I’m moving to TX in a few months because...

    4.7 Tuning

    Hey everyone. I just got my hands on HPTuners and i’ve been playing around with it for a bit. I’ve been messing with trans settings too and managed to get the 6 speed into an actual 6 speed with nicer shifts but it could still use some help on low speed acceleration which i am fixing soon...

    4.7 Overheated- Emergency

    Hey everyone. I just took a drive to walmart to pick up some oil and stuff. When getting back, someone was going 10 in a 40 so i passed them up barely stepping on the gas. Immediately after the engine started to overheat, hit 225, then 235, then got to its hottest of 240. I managed to make it...

    8 speed RFE transmission..?

    Hey everyone. There’s a youtuber i’ve been watching for a while, he did a video a while back on adding an extra gear to a Jeep with the 45RFE (essentially turning it into a 545) with a new PCM. Reading the comments, he said the RFE was capable of 8 forward gears, but no one has been able to...

    3.55 Rear End Whine

    Hey everyone, I took the truck into the shop a few months back when it had an awful growling from the rear differential. Shop said that the rear pinion bearing (s) failed and that it was going to need new bearings all around, but also told me that luckily enough the gears were in near perfect...

    4X4 swap possible?

    Hey guys, i found a really nice trans/transfer case out of a 2019 1500 with only 36K on it for 800$. I’ve been wanting to 8spd swap my 2013 4.7 as most of you know from my many threads on it, but would it be able to go from a 4x2 to a 4x4? Cost isn’t an issue as this truck is going to be modded...

    News on 4.7 8HP Swap

    Hello everyone, Recently i made a thread on swapping the RFE in my truck out for the 8HP70. I contacted russell @ SGA and he told me that since my truck is a 13 that they came from the factory with the 8HP and that the harness from them isn’t needed for the swap if i feel as though i can wire...

    2013 1500 Dented Frame Crossmember

    Hey all, hope everything is well. For starters, this year hasn’t been great. My dad fell 30 ft onto concrete because of what we think was heatstroke back in June when he was working and he is now in a rehab center but still not awake. This happened on top of a bunch of other crap too. Anyways...

    3.55 Rear End Finally Giving Way?

    Hey everyone. For the past year or so i’ve had this noise coming from the truck that i’ve thought was a wheel bearing. Wasn’t so bad at first and now it’s so loud you can’t hear it over the radio. It’s a “woo-woo-woo” type sound that goes away and stays constant once you lift off the gas, it...
