I am going to do a tune up on my 4.7 and I was wondering how many quarts the engine holds...never got a owners manual with my truck...also I was going to buy some 3923's and I was wondering what to gap them at...the truck is stock with intake and exhaust...thanks for the help.

Ask the service person how much oil it takes next time you have it changed and check the label under the hood for the gap.

Just did exactly that last weekend on my 4.7. Plug gap is .040, crankcase capacity is 6 quarts. Check the stick after 4 though, I usually only get 4.5 to 5.5 quarts in.
