    So my truck died...

    My dad told me, but I honestly don't remember. Either way we bought a 4.7L engine from a 2005 Durango. For the most part it was plug and play, but quite a few little things had to be transferred from the old engine to the new 4.7. We finished the engine swap today and everything went well...

    So my truck died...

    Well it overheated because the radiator didn't have any type of coolant in it. It's been an on going problem because every time that I pour water in it, sooner or later it ends up leaking out. I usually refill it once a week, but I was in a hurry the day that it happened that I forgot to do it...

    So my truck died...

    My dad was just thinking about buying a used motor that way we can just swap it out no problems. When we took the heads off, a few of the pistons were chipped. I wouldn't mind re-using the block, but we honestly don't know too much about rebuilding an engine. If this was just a project truck, I...

    So my truck died...

    Well me an my dad are going to be working on this. After reading all of the responses I don't feel too confident on working on a 5.7L Hemi swap. Seems way over my head to do this as I'm not the one mechanically inclined here. The engine died yesterday, well I actually killed it by overheating...

    So my truck died...

    and I want to bring her back from the dead! I was wondering if it was possible to swap out 4.7L Magnum for a 5.7L Hemi? Well I know that it's possible, but is it worth it to do it? What would I need to get (apart from the engine) to do the swap?

    Cooling leaking?

    I think that I have a leak somewhere on the truck, but it's not where I first stated. Anyways the truck's heater works better now, so it's all good.

    Cooling leaking?

    So I think that I might have a coolant leak on me... but I'm not too sure. Recently my truck started to overheat, opened up the hood and filled it up with just water temporarily. I was about to flush the coolant/water and put more in, but then I thought to myself that I had just changed it...

    Will a 2006 300c nav radio fit my 2006 Ram

    Unless you have a stock nav system on your truck, I doubt that you can just swap it out. You most likely will need to mess around with it to make it work. I'm not certain on this though so I'll let someone else chime in on this.

    Need help ASAP! Radio questions.

    Problem solved! Haha I'm glad that you figured out how to install it without the canbus adapter and having to waste a lot more money on that.

    Need help ASAP! Radio questions.

    Try turning on the radio. When I installed my first radio I redid the wiring 3 times because I couldn't get it to turn on. I would hear a sound from the cd area when I pressed the eject button as if the deck was getting power but I couldn't turn it on. Turns out that I wasn't pressing the...

    Thanks guys... Maybe I'll show off the fog lights sometime on Tuesday if I get my fog lamps in on time.

    Need help ASAP! Radio questions.

    Is that somewhat similar to what GM vehicles have with the OnStar system where they had to get a special $70 adapter so that their vehicle wouldn't go crazy?
