4.7l woes and rant

Yeah, see? Some folks have GREAT luck with them. I've not seen "many" of those, but I have seen a few.
I had a 01 Dak sport single cab 4.7 with the NV 3500 5 speed. Had issues with the transmission. Couldn't power slam into 2nd. Shifter housing was plastic junk, blew up the clutch master... the mill was ran hard and had over 280,000 on it when sold..
