Hi all, just signed up for this forum to ask this question... And I do apologize if it's been asked a thousand times already.
I have an opportunity to buy a 2009 ram 1500 with 4.7 v8 for very cheap. It's a work trunk that's in decent shape, has 120k on the clock and no appearant issues. I don't know much about these trucks as I've never owned a Dodge/Chrysler before. A buddy of mine however is adamant about a 4.7l engine being a huge piece of crap, prone to many problems and with this mileage being pretty much at end of life.
I did some quick searching around the net and do see some problem info on the older 4.7 engines, but nothing on the newer generation.
Can you guys give me some advise here please, should I go for it, or stay away?
Thanks!
