Besides the front end stuff, we do a few heater cores, timing covers leaking coolant (and 3 way adjustable double roller chains while we are in it and advance the cam a couple degrees), intake plenum gaskets, thermostat gaskets, keep the trans serviced including adjust bands and that about covers %95 of what we do on them. We do a few engines and trannys but usually the abused ones only.
MPG sucks and they tend to respond well to a set of ford 4.6 injectors. You can also slot and advance the crank sensor a couple degrees for a hair more pep and MPG.

I had two Durangos a 2000 and a 2002 they both had the 4.7 and were good vehicles the 02 I bought with 3.91s and the trailer tow pkg and it towed my 20 ft. enclosed trailer good and all over the place, I did however have the ball joints done under warranty and the rear started acting up at 78,000 miles so I traded it on my 08 H.Q.C. a friend still sees it around sometimes as the dealer I traded it to is near his town

Plenum leak sighns are useing oil, maybe not much as long as you drive nice and easy in town but then on the highway they suck oil like no tommorow. I have had a couple that would not use ANY oil as long as I was just in town and then suck it dry in a few hundred highway miles.

Go to the JY and tell them you need a set of injectors from a 97 F150 with a 4.6. They are quick and easy to identify as they are bright yellow. If they are not yellow don't buy them. Even the 5.4 used them and they came on everything under the sun from mustang GT to lincoln town cars crown vics... I usually find them bolted to an intake in the seats when the motor was pulled or bolted to a blown engine under the hood, the engines are pure garbage so lots of injectors and I usually pay $50 for 8. Probably the most common injector ever. I have even found them on older 5.0s just look for a yellow injector with 4 discharge nozzles as I have seen some very early 5.0s with the right color but one spray hole.
They bolt in a 99 and back magnum engine with no changes or modifications needed. They will work in a 2000-2003 5.2 3.9 or 5.9 magnum with a set of cheap plug in adapters from e-bay.
If you get em from a JY try to find some with the fuel rail still atatched as it helps keep dirt out of em and keeps the fuel from drying and sticking them.

HotRodDave, do you know what the flow rating of those injectors are? I'm trying to find some 15 lb @43psi injectors similar to the ford ones I have seen you praising before. Ford yellow/orange are 19 lb

I think the white injectors off a 3.0 or 3.8 ferd V6 may be what you are after, I read somewhere they flow 13.5 @ 36 PSI so turn up the pressure to 43 and you should be real close (need a mathmetician or an actual flow test to be sure).

The throttle body is not a restriction on a stock engine, I did a big gulp and it didn't change fuel trim near WOT or improve mpg or seat of the pants dyno testing. The superheated air in the intake is the restriction, ain't gonna get much air mass when its that hot and those small ports. Combine it with some other stuff and it probably would make a difference.
