I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab the VIN number pulls up a 4.7 engine but the sticker under the hood says a 5.2 how do i know which engine i have? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Jun 08, 2008 4:37 pm) dustyk (Jun 16, 2008 1:50 pm) bpeebles (Jun 16, 2008 5:39 pm)

Replying to: cindy215 (Jun 04, 2008 9:15 am) The 2 engines are VERY different.   Here is a write-up on the 4.7L semi-hemi. (with photos)   Perhaps this will help you identify your engine.   HINT: The 4.7L does not have any sparkplug wires while the 5.2 does.

Replying to: cindy215 (Jun 04, 2008 9:15 am) I'm pretty sure that after 2000 the 318 (5.2) was no longer available.   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: boatdude22 (Jun 15, 2008 6:12 am) You should have no problems swapping in '98 to replace a '95, they're both Magnum versions. A '92 might be better. They used a larger exhaust manifold and were rated slightly higher in horsepower.   Regards, Dusty

Replying to: cindy215 (Jun 04, 2008 9:15 am) Dusty is correct. The 5.2L (318ci) was replaced with the 4.7L semi-hemi in the 2000 model year. I do not think it is possible for your 2001 to have a 5.2L from the factory.   Trivia: The 4.7L was first available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1999. Starting in 2000, it was also available in the Dodge Dakota. (Replacing the 1960s-era 318ci)
