I'm rebuilding the 4.7 in my 2010 Ram 1500. In the Chilton specs it shows bearing clearances in both the connecting rod and crankshaft sections that give different tolerances, but appear to be referencing the same joint (crank journal OD to connecting rod ID). The connecting rod section says bearing clearance is 0.0006-0.0022, while the crankshaft section says 0.0004-0.0019. The one in the connecting rod section couldn't be the rod to piston pin because that's listed elsewhere in that section: "Piston Pin Bore Diameter (Interference Fit) .001-0.0019". Is this a discrepancy or am I just reading this wrong?

Are you sure 1 clearance isn't for the crank main bearings,and the other is for the actual rod bearing clearance.Usually main bearings and rod bearings are differant clearances

I'm sure...the main bearing clearance is a completely different line in the crankshaft section which states "0.0002-0.0013".
