1st time posting Sorry in advance.
Good morning. I will start off by saying electrical and understanding of it is my downfall due to a lack of understanding not effort. With that said I need some help.
I have a 2017 laramie long bed with 6.7-68rfe built, tuned, lifted,banks, thureen you get the point. I was hit head on. On a two lane highway. My truck AKA White Rhino is totaled. About 16k in parts and a bent frame. *still waiting for insurance to pay out.
I am in Oregon and flew to MN and bought a 2014 6.7 Short Bed bighorn with a G56. I drove it back to Oregon with a 6 pounds boost at best.
My plan was/is to make the 2014 bighorn g56 into a longbed laramie with the two trucks i own.
I started swapping parts over like amp steps ,led rear bumper light and VGT turbo. I planned on swapping over my laramie interior and started checking wiring for my seats and everything is plug and play. Tested the wiring at the controls for heated seats and they work. I went to hit the cooled seats and low and behold the button is not there. Laramie has 8.4 uconnect and the bighorn has the 5’’ screen. * This is when I noticed the wiring harness was different. Not shy of work and my dash and steering wheel airbags went off. I tore out the dash to get the Dash harness to swap over to make my life easy. Well that's what I thought. After tearing everything apart and getting the dash harness out the two connections for that harness do not match the two connections in the older truck.
I took a break and learned about the RF hub keyless entry push button start. That I assumed would all work off the dash Harness I removed from the laramie. Took both drivers' door panels off to find a massive difference.
So here I am feeling stuck. So my next though was ****** please correct me if i am wrong here.
I will pull out any and all internal wiring with the BCM and swap into the new truck in hopes i can retain the options from the laramie. Knowing the PCM has to stay on the trucks it came with due to one being 68rfe and the other being G56.
I am just not sure If i am overthinking this or being a complete idiot. I am up for a challenge just lack the understanding.
I feel like i am not upgrading , but trying to work backwards to get back what i had.
On the motor side of things I ordered some spicy tuning from ppei. South bend dual disc fass 150 injectors some nice nozzles a bigger cp3 S300 top mount and a second gen manifold arp stud head gasket and some 110 valve springs rockers push rods and stems
