The early 4.7s had a lot of motor issues. People say the newer ones were OK, but I don't know what is considered as "newer". Seems the timing chain guides and heads are problematic. I've read Chrysler's goal was to have a motor that would be wore out by 150K miles and for most 4.7s it appears they have reached their goal. That said, I've seen a few still running great well past 200K, but not many.

Under powered and gas hogs have been reported other trade marks for the 4.7. But maybe the one your looking at is one of the really good ones....Gene
