Has anyone considered or have information on the possibility of swapping an 8-speed 8HP75R into 2014-2018 Power Wagon instead of trading for a 5th generation 2019+? I've grown to really like the 4th gen PWs.

Any update on this? Love the PowerWagon but this 66rfe sucks hard.
With as complex as these vehicles have gotten over the last decade, engine and transmission swaps are all but a thing of the past. And this is coming from the owner of a mustang that had an auto to 5 speed swap. They’re just not largely possible anymore.
True, but Jeeps are kind of the exception, not the rule. Most cars (with a few notable exceptions) are a nightmare to swap out components like that. It’s not like before, where you could put in a new engine and a junkyard ECU and call it a day.A Jeep buddy of mine has swapped several modern gm 6.2’s into jeeps. Even with the new 8 speed trans. All sorts of electronics, but he still gets it done. Mind you, just a small time setup in his garage attached to his house.
Its possible. But man...the electronics would scare the hell out of me!
