    2003 Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi w/ Blown Motor- Need Help with motor compatability

    The one from the 2003 2500 will be fine. You should be able to just drop it in and plug the existing wiring to it. They are mostly the same from 2003-2005, but the 04/05 is going to have an EGR valve on the one head. It's not a huge deal to plug it, but might as well get the easier fit...

    2005 to a 2003 hemi swap questions, will it work?

    Haha. I have a 2005 PCM. I put in a 2003 hemi, then customized the 2003 engine wiring harness so it would work with a 2005 PCM.

    2005 to a 2003 hemi swap questions, will it work?

    You can pretty much drop it right in. The EGR can be turned off with a custom tune using a Diablosport Predator tuner (requires paying a guy to write the tune). 03's are very prone to valve spring breakage. I would highly recommend changing those to 6.1 hemi exhaust valve springs, which is...

    2007 transmission computer swap?

    Ahh, I didn't notice that

    2007 transmission computer swap?

    Do a search for the "TMR" mod that only 03's can do. By pulling one wire you'll be disabling torque management, and from what I understand, it will give you the neck-snapping shifts you're looking for.

    2007 transmission computer swap?

    The 04+ models don't have a separate TCM like you have, it is integrated into the PCM. Unfortunately, you'd have to upgrade your PCM to a 04 or 05. This requires a major wiring upgrade.

    Which engines fit 2004?

    2002 4.7 isn't going to work for you because of the different crank and cam tone wheels. You'll need at least a 2003 from a ram. Same thing for durangos, although I'm not exactly sure what year they changed. When you're searching through junkyard sites or asking around, you need version with...

    Thrush Welded on 4.7

    They definitely sound nice. Unfortunately I had 2 of them come apart on me from the inside so they rattled. They replaced the 1st one with warranty and the second time I threw it in the trash. Although this was after I did the hemi swap and longtube headers with no cats, etc so you might be ok...

    Need a Cat

    For what it's worth, I have pacesetter longtubes into their 3" Y pipe with no cats. I was going to add cats for the same reasons then I swapped my 14" magnaflow for a 22" magnaflow. Huge reduction in noise. I dunno what exhaust you have going on, but a simple muffler change worked for me.

    wanna get a feeler for vararam

    Just curious, why do you want to get rid of it?

    what is a 4.7 L engine worth?

    Donor truck would be awesome if you can find one reasonably priced. Otherwise, you can check that link I sent you. You'll need accessories (although I think the pwr steering pump is the same), radiator hoses, heater hoses, 2 AC hoses, exhaust work, APPS throttle box & cable or electronic pedal...

    what is a 4.7 L engine worth?

    I wouldn't waste money on putting in a newer 4.7. Since you have a 2002, you'd definitely have to change the harnesses and PCM for any 4.7 2003+. You would also run into more wiring issues with the rest of the truck if you use an engine & PCM that is 2006+. If you are patient and look on...

    Garage Sale

    Damn it...I missed the valve spring tool! I'll take it if the sale doesn't work out.
