You can tell this guys a savage tech bro gets down

[@r.blanco7520]

Nice job!

[@tylerrobertson9729]

LOL 210,000 miles on the original 4.7l Powertech that came with the 02 bango. The errors were so EASY to avoid they always tell you way before any damage is done.

[@NXT_LVL]

Yeah, wonder the % of the times he sighed over "another 4.7" that was a full size Rams and not in the lighter Dakotas/Durangos which were like 3/8 ton trucks like the S10/Blazer and Ranger which had V6s. The ram is easily 500lbs heavier for the regular cab alone and I know my QC Dakota is around 4800, which was as heavy as they came for the 97-04 gen. Thats why Dodge made the 4,7 dual spark plug per cylinder, like the hemis and bumped to power/tq figures to handle the heavier redesign in 05.

[@tylerrobertson9729]

When I departed with mine it was 247,000 miles and the only problem it had was the rear axle I BENT offroading like a boss (Mine came with the composite skid pans in the undercarriage) I miss it I really do.

[@sonmorales8968]

hey bryan just tacked the engine swap in the dodge ram 4.7. piece of cake. other engine fired right up.. thank u

Pretty much the same

Do this apply to 2002 Dakota as well with the 4.7 engine

Can I put n 5.2 n a dodge ram pu wit n 4.7

I swapped mine and the 02 sensors refuse to work, Even the new ones and they have power so it won't pass inspection

we just did the engine swap, we were wondering if you could possibly tell us what we need to do to make the fly by wire work??? or what part we would need to make it work?

Hey I’m 18 with 2002 Dodge Ram 4.7 2wd and I took my motor out with a help of my brother and I’m gonna be attempting to put back another 4.7 in is there any tips on what I need I know the basics but do you have any advice like on how to put the fluids back in or anything?

@@smkdude26 From my years of experience working on the 4.7 I'm 100% sure all 4.7 in North America are 287s so it's safe to buy 4.7 parts listed with with an engine displacement of 287ci

what's the big red wire connected 2 in the back I have the same truck but it has electrical issues finding a honest mechanic that's not gonna tell you it needs a engine swap besides cut and miss soldered wires...

[@mmar4281990]

did you have to support the transmission ?

theres 2 bolt holes in the valley, between the heads, is that where u bolted one of the chain hook ups?

Yes

Helo Brayn how long time it takes you to do all this work? I like your video because you explain and show averting, thank you for all this information 👍

[@Bryan916]

about 3 hours to get the engine out!

[@jacobjarvis2545]

​@Bryan916 where did you bolt up the chain off the front of the block and where in the rear

[@daman737]

​@@jacobjarvis2545 im wondering the same thing ??

[@jacobjarvis2545]

@daman737 you can either use a strap and go from the exhaust manifolds or pull the intake and bolt the chain to the back of the head and front acc drive. Just watch the valve covers bc they can be weak and brittle if you go from the exhaust manifolds and you will have to wiggle and jiggle the engine back and forth and will be high on 1 side if you chain it front to back. It's what I had to do

[@halteasley6729]

Hey I have an 02 Ram 4.7. Can I swap to a 5.7 using same transmission?

[@craigheidelberger3325]

What was wrong with the engine when it came in? No start? Bad knock or rattle? I have an 05 Ram 4.7 that I have been adding a little hp to from time to time. Love your videos!

Man I've been looking for a video like this for days. I have a 2009 1500 with a seized 4.7. It looks easy to change. My question is can I just swap a 5.7 in it from the same year? I just need the wiring harness? I dont want to out another 4.7 in it..

[@ray8380]

Were you able to get that information?

How much did you pay for it?

[@sempaidiaz]

Curious, what year is it? I have a 2010 ram 1500. Wondering if it pretty much the same way.

[@Bryan916]

If you have the 4.7 then it should be the same 2008-2013. This truck I believe is a 2008

How long did the swap take, or just to remove the 4.7. I wont be going back with a 4.7 eventhough it was a good engine that ran 200000 miles without any problems. I'm going back with a 6.1 srt8 hemi and tranny. Thanks Sid

like 3 hours to remove it.

True

[@Artlopez105]

Can you please tell me if a Dodge Dakota truck needs to be sitting on a flat surface to install the motor properly I'm having trouble because my - Dakota is sitting on a incline in my driveway so I don't know if that's the cause for the trouble The problem is I can't get the mountain amounts to align and engine and transmission to mate properly please let me know what I need to do

[@Artlopez105]

I mean motor mounts

[@Bryan916]

Sitting on a flat surface would help make the job a little easier but it wouldn't prevent you from installing your motor. Make sure you have the correct mounts. beware of cheap mounts that don't work as well. Also try loosening up the transmission mounts to help the engine and trans come together.

[@Artlopez105]

Yes swap over the flywheel an exhaust manifold and it should be fine.

Orlando Corona Can't remember maybe 13mm

[@orlandocorona1064]

So I did and engine swap on my 2007 jeep grand Cherokee in getting it to crank but doesn't fully turn over not sure if its electrical issue with my grounds I hear my fuel pump turning on any suggestions?

[@Bryan916]

Orlando Corona you gotta check for fuel, spark and compression. See which ingredient is missing and then take it from there.

[@orlandocorona1064]

Ok so I check all of that I got everything but spark I've checked my realys fuses everything I could think of crankshaft positioning sensor cam sensor I'm getting a p0335 code I'm stuck ... the ground behind the heads what does it ground? Advise would be greatly appreciated

[@Bryan916]

Orlando Corona Replace the crankshaft position sensor which is likely the problem, but it could be a wiring issue also. so check Supply voltage, ground, and sensor signal.

[@sotos2428]

Do you know if the 02 ram 1500 4.7 all the engine from 02 rams are the same?

[@Bryan916]

I don't think so some are 4.7 some are 5.7

[@Artlopez105]

I mean motor mounts

[@34treytrey]

Can i swap a 4.7 w egr with a 4.7 w/o egr

[@Bryan916]

It will set a check light if the ECM does not see EGR input. You would have to have the ECM reprogram without EGR!

[@Wolfgang2018]

Does anyone know if a newer 4.7 will work for an older ram (03 swapping with a 06+)

[@mrpistonrecaro6483]

Only 02-03
