    2010 Dodge Ram Seized Need to Swap Out

    Hi, My engine seized on my 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Oil Sensor had gone off, swapped the sensor at the parts store thinking that was the issue. Needless to say the truck stalled one mile before getting home. My guess is the oil pump went out, then after my inadequate response, the engine...

    Engine swap noise

    I just bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L and it had an engine swap with a 2005 4.7 engine. I have driven the truck before the engine swap and the engine sounded good and powerful. Now it sounds like “windy”. The fan is the loudest thing I hear instead of a strong V8 engine. What can the issue be?

    Cab or engine swap easier?

    I have a 2002 4.7l dodge ram, the engine went out, so I bought a wrecked 2003 5.7l Hemi thinking about doing an engine swap. But I want to know if a cab swap would be less of a headache than an upgraded engine swap. What do you guys think would be best?
