4.7 ???

"Try high 13s@105 in the 1/4 mile"

Is this going down a mountain the last 1/8th mile?

No, that gets you 19 MPG!

Seriously though I don't understand the doggy comments, my 4.7 is really snappy. Was not well taken care of but after flattening the heads, all gaskets, spark plugs, flow tested injectors (167000 miles and still flowing very close to each other) oil pump, cleaning pickup tube and screen it jerks the truck around like it is a much larger engine. Not interested in dyno testing with mine just hope nothing else falls off of it LOL.

Even with all the crap that happened and the obvious sludge issue once I scraped the crud away the cam and rollers showed very little wear and I did not bother replacing the timing chains and gears though I did replace the tensioners. If it looked that good inside and still doesn't tick or knock after all the abuse it must be a tough little motor.

I need to let my friend know that cause his 4.7 gets similar mpg as my hemi which is almost half what you said. I was just making a joke, so calm down my same friend has 240,000 on his 07 4.7, an it's been used as a work truck since new an still running strong, It's a darn good engine don't get me wrong.

Wow an allison trans! The outfitters really went to town on this one! Lucky find!

I have all the order codes from the factory build sheet,,3 pages worth of stuff,,,even included was the train and rail number it was delivered from,,,


and yes high 13s at 105,,all motor,,with 60,200 miles showing,,a ex- hi-way patrol truck,,,,

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

you got those track times? what performance mods (from the build sheet or after add on's) does it have now to get those times? f you are looking to squeeze more by adding another cai or exhaust then personally i would keep what you currently have, saving a few hundred.

#1 - There is no "police interceptor" package for a Dodge Ram pickup truck. "Interceptor" is a Ford name and Dodge has never used it. The only vehicle NOT a sedan that was ever pursuit rated would be the Chevrolet Tahoe, and they only achieved that rating as of last year after numerous alterations were made to the police pursuit Tahoe (PPV) making it perform like a sedan at speed.

#2 - No pickup truck on earth has ever been pursuit rated.

#3 - No police package vehicle comes with a "police chip" making the 4.7 in that truck any better or faster than any other 4.7.

#4 - If anything, this is a SSP (Special Service Package) vehicle that may include external fluid coolers, a limited slip rear end, heavy duty brakes and heavy duty suspension, along with a higher output alternator and possibly some wiring hookups run into the cab that a regular truck wouldn't have. If there were any police calibrations made to the engine and transmission, they certainly wouldn't result in 13 second 1/4 mile times. Plus I think the Special Service Package Ram trucks only came in Quad-Cab versions with the Hemi.

#5 - I speak this because I know it, I've been a police officer and car nut (and POLICE car nut) for many years. I'm calling bullsh*t on the whole thing unless proven otherwise.

#6 - There is no "police interceptor" Dodge Ram pickup. It bears repeating.

#7 - I'm new here and not trying to make waves. Just can't sit here and watch this bull being spoon fed to you guys and watch you eat it up without speaking my mind.

#8 - It's not personal.

Thank you prospect, I didn't want to come off as an ******* either, but for the amount of mods my rcsb HEMI ram if there was 4.7 rams running mid 13s @ over 100 on motor out an about I would drive my truck into the ocean. Sorry there's just not way.

 

[woody31]

Look ******* i ran the numbers at my dealership and have 3 pages of print out,,GO **** YOURSELF WITH A CACTUS,,,I know for a fact what I have

 

[justin13703]

Well that escalated quickly lol

I also would like to see some track times/videos of said truck doing 13s at 105 in the quarter. Not saying there's no way, just that a 4.7 full size ram running those times would be very impressive. If you're giving out track times and trap speeds, you have either run at the track before, so it would be easy to post time slips, or you're just guessing. That is what we are trying to figure out.

 

[ST-8]

When there are 4.7s running those times n/a Ill gladly **** myself with a cactus. im in the minority of ram owners on here that were dumb enough to try an make a performance vehicle instead of utilizing my truck as a truck so I got a decent idea what these trucks run stock an with mods. take it with a grain of salt or get butt hurt w/e but you got some far-fetched numbers. Cant expect someone not to say something.

My truck isn't a rocketship, but in comparrision ain't no n/a 4.7 gonna touch my Hemi that runs 13.5s in the 1/4

I would not want to add to the insult, but even the folks at AIRRAM with a single plane intake, a 72mm throttle body, and a tune can't get to the 13's @ 100mph...

If Dodge would have produced a pickup package with such numbers, this would be well known, they would yell about it from the roof tops and people would be all over these high value vehicles...

At this time unless we see some warranted numbers/videos I would remain very sceptical about the numbers stated.

As for the package you have, if you have a 3 pages document from the dealer why don't you just post it here so we can have a look and validate your statement?

Just saying...

 

[TylerB]

Man, that dealer took you for a ride and you gobbled up every last bit of dribble they spat out down the back of your growler cactus boy.

Not sure if you have downs or just retarded....

 

[xb1230]

Mind you that original owner or ordering party may have been a Police service.

Doesn't mean it's an Police Interceptor Package though...

I'm pretty sure that a police interceptor Dodge Ram doesn't even exist. Like you said probably was used by a police agency somewhere for hauling stuff around, a dealership got ahold of it and decided to throw the word "interceptor" on it to bring some extra cash. To get a 4.7 ram with 3.55 gears to run 13s at triple digits would involve EXTENSIVE modifications, which is something that neither a police agency nor dealerships do.

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

Seen some local LEO Rams with Sheriff decals used by their landscaping crews.

 

[justin13703]

I've seen some being used by police companies before but never a "police interceptor" ram.

Just as a comparison, the crown Vic police interceptors had almost the same power as the 4.7 rams, and with the 3.55 gears in them ran the quarter in 16-17 seconds. To get a ram with the same gear ratio that weighs 1000lbs more to run 3 seconds faster than that, would probably need to be over 400hp. Even if this was an "interceptor" package, they sure as hell didn't add 150+ hp to that truck
