Eco diesel to Hemi swap, looking for info.

[Hemi drifter]

I'm curious what you found to be different on the frames?

A lot! All the cross-bracing was in different places, despite the two trucks being of identical configuration (Crew cab+short box), and the engine mounts weren’t of the same size or location either. It would have been a lot of cutting and welding, and I wasn't willing to start butchering all that.

I'm curious about the body mounts do you know if those have the same location? I seen a 2015 EcoDiesel real cheap was thinking about swapping everything to my hemi frame. I have rust problems on my 2009.

Hmmmm...interesting. I would have thought they'd be pretty much the same, or very similar. Guess not (exactly). Thanks for sharing.
