    2004.5 to 2003 engine swap

    OK that's good to know. Would i have to send my ECM out for that to get the custom tune? I live in Northern Ontario and don't know too many people in this neck of the woods that could handle that. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

    2004.5 to 2003 engine swap

    What would the advantage be on a custom tune? Is the 03 a better engine or respond better to tuning? Could I just run a programmer? If I leave the programming stock on the 04.5 ECM would the engine still give me 325hp? Thanks.

    2004.5 to 2003 engine swap

    Hello, I would be putting the 03 engine into an 04.5 truck. I would use all the existing 04.5 wiring and ECM etc. Basically the 03 engine would think it's an 04.5 in a 04.5 truck. It's in an automatic quad cab short box 4x4 all stock. I would also swap the turbo from the 04.5 onto the 03 engine...

    2004.5 to 2003 engine swap

    I see there are many discussions about the inability to swap injectors between 2003 and 2004.5 engines. However, could you install the entire engine from a 2003 (305hp) into a 2004.5 (325hp) truck? Or would this be a disaster? I have a 2004.5 which is still running fine now but I also have a...

    Burnt Smell From Heater/AC Ducts

    The ignition switch seems fine. The smell only comes from the heat/AC ducts. Still no obvious leaks from the heater core and the AC still works OK. I don't really want to pull the whole dash and heat box assembly unless I really have to. I would think if it was the heater core that I would get a...

    Burnt Smell From Heater/AC Ducts

    I had the fan out, the resistor out (again), the radio out, the instrument cluster out and still nothing. But the trans let go so now I'm dead in the water with that as it's out for repair. Some people have said to pull the heater core but so far it doesn't leak and the smell goes away after...

    Burnt Smell From Heater/AC Ducts

    Hello, for the last week I have been getting a burnt electrical smell from my heat/AC ducts after the truck sits for several hours. It does this for about 15-30 seconds and then dissipates. It does this even with the engine off and just the blower motor going. If the blower is off I can't smell...

    Cab Swap 2003 Hemi Gas On To 2004.5 CTD

    I looked in the wiring diagram for both and found that they are in fact different. One example is the wiring going to the airbag control module. It looks like I will have to strip the entire wiring harness from the rusty 2004.5 and install in in to the 2003 cab. Kind of a bummer both with the...

    Cab Swap 2003 Hemi Gas On To 2004.5 CTD

    I have started the swap and found that the wiring between the 2 is quite different, or at least appears to be so far. Does anyone have the actual wiring diagrams for the Dashes on these 2 trucks? It looks like just swapping the dash isn't going to do it. The plugs are all similar but all the...

    Cab Swap 2003 Hemi Gas On To 2004.5 CTD

    Will do. I'm just a little surprised that no one on here has done or documented this yet. I think I'm going to tackle this in late May or June. I'm sure there will be some surprises and head scratching going on.

    Cab Swap 2003 Hemi Gas On To 2004.5 CTD

    No one has any info on any of the dash wiring or where the power seats and windows get their power?

    Diagnosing Lower Power

    Hi, have you tried re-torquing the fuel transfer tubes that go from the outside of the head to the injectors? I had this same problem on my 04.5 and my brother on his 05. If memory serves correct the specified torque is 37 ft/lbs but going to 43 ft/lbs is what works best.

    Cab Swap 2003 Hemi Gas On To 2004.5 CTD

    Hello. The cab on my 2004.5 CTD quad cab 4x4 is getting very rusty. I purchased a complete rust free cab from a 2003 Hemi gas 2wd truck. Has anyone here done such a swap. It looks like I will probably have to switch the dash over at minimum. My current truck is plane with roll up windows, manual...
