Dakota trucks badged as Lone Star editions were marketed in the Southwest United States. These models featured the updated Corsair 4.7 known as a Flex Fuel motor. The V8 power has been a standard in full-size Dodge trucks for more than 3 decades. Buying an AWD used Dakota Lone Star V8 engine from this website is easy for the average auto parts buyer.
A short-lived “Ram Dakota” model appeared in the mid 2000s right before the discontinuance of the Dakota. The 4-door design also featured the 4.7 motor block. The Lone Star trucks were one option to buy in the Texas market although these were known as Big Horn trucks in other markets of the United States. The common theme was the all-wheel drive motor and transmission combo.
4.7 Flex Fuel Dakota Engine
The V8 engines produced from 2004 to 2011 featured a base horsepower level of around 230 hp. This was later updated to 302. This is the same power that could be found in Jeep and Dodge branded sport utility vehicles. For the Lone Star trucks, the trim level did not takeaway any of the performance of the motor. A few minor options were deleted like CD players, ABS brakes and other non-essential features.
Every 4.7 Flex Fuel motor is compatible with E85 and regular fuel. This is how the Flex Fuel name was branded. The V8 Corsair engine family was used only for a small production period for the Lone Star trucks. There are 5600 RPMs at full maximum power in the 302 horsepower V8 edition. An extended Lone Star or Big Horn cab option was available and this model used the Corsair engine build.
Long Star V8 Engine Specs
The build was known as a V-type motor that was a standard at the Chrysler company since the mid 1980s. The 4.7 is liquid cooled and features approximately 287 cubic inches. The SOHC block is a chain driven system that features 16 valves. Pivot rockers are powered by a hydraulic system. The cast iron block has a moderate 9:0:1 ratio of compression output.
The Corsair V8 4.7 is normally paired with the 545RFE automatic transmission. This is now standard in most Dodge pickup trucks. The transfer cases that are compatible with the V8 include the NV233HD and the NV243HD. The rear drive power of the 4.7 is one of the benefits to Dodge truck owners.
