Hello erryone. Been a while since I been on RF. Not much is new. Dumping money into projects. But anyway.
My 1997 Ram 2500 5.9 V8 just rolled over 225K on the clock yesterday. That motor is old and tired as hell. It burns so much oil its ridiculous, even after the plenum repair. It cant hold oil pressure for sh*t, so im thinking its on its way out and I sure dont want to throw any more parts at it only to have it die in a week.
However, I did find a 2000 Ram 2500 V8 that somebody is parting out. 76K on the motor. I asked how much, and if I can hear it run. Well he has yet to respond. But is it possible to swap a 2000 motor into a 1997?
Thanx.
