Re: Jeep VS others
All of this talk and nobody has even mentioned the GC late model 4.7 HO.
I've got one that that runs better 0-60 times than my "old" '98 5.9. Have to
admit that it seems like some of it might be due to a big difference in the
automatic transmissions. The '04 seems to have a much higher RPM stall
torque converter which lets come off the line like a rocket ship.
