Engine swap

[Coloradoelkhuntr]

My son has an 05 with the 5.7. The engine is dead and he has the opportunity to get a 2018 engine, tranny and tcase. I have searched the web for info and have came up with nothing. What all is needed to do this swap? Any info really helps.

Absolutely more trouble than it is worth unless you run your own custom shop with the ability to fab things inexpensively and program computer modules. Totally different engine and transmission, not to mention two generations removed control system (03-08 5.7 is very different than the 09+ 5.7).
