I have an 03 2500 with the 5.7 in it and a couple months ago it started breaking flywheels. Concluded the motor needs crank shims after putting a used crank into it from it spinning a bearing after a rebuild. It was also stalling all the time so needs a torque converter. But I recently got offered a 2nd gen with a 5.9 for cheap, he said the motor and tranny are strong only issue is the frame busted. Would swapping the transmission work? What all would need to be replaced/changed as a result of the generational difference? Or would it just be better to replace the torque converter and get shims then figure out whatever else is going on? Thanks so much!
