There is another 'stock' option. Find a wrecked 05 or 06 2.8 CRD diesel. I get 30 to 33 mpg with mine and it has way more torque than the 3.7 or 4.7. I actually did an 05 CRD swap into an 02 3.7 that was dead, I think I posted a write up but that was 10 years ago. The only things that didn't...

I swapped an 05 CRD into an 02 that had a dead 3.7. I've seen so many dead 3.7s, mostly from overheating and resulting destroyed heads. I had a 4.7 in a Dakota do the same. Basically same engine, same problem. The swap worked fine, vehicle ran fine. See link below where I mention the obstacles...

Mine is green too, a 2006 Limited. Had it 2 years so far with 178K miles. Rebuilt ****** because it keep getting hot. The TC is usually the weak component on these vehicles and would often cause "shudder" issues, although overseas (outside USA) models aparently had a different TC that was not...
