'05 engine into '94 Dodge dually

[Excessive Force]

I've got a friend who has a '94 Dodge dually that currently has a blown-up V10 sitting under the hood. He has access to a brand new '05 engine/auto trans/transfer case. Apparently there was a rail car full of new trucks that were damaged,and a local yard wound up with a few of them. They come with the computers,and his question is how to wire the new components to his current truck (gauges,ect. ). Any input would be appreciated.

someone has already done it. they put it into a 1st gen not sure who it was someone else should be able to help

You dont want that new 05 engine in there. Get something good like a 12v or 24v. That new engine is WoRthLESS

I guess he found another V10 to put in... .

 

[Mingoglia]

If he put the diesel in there I wonder if he would of had problems with emissions? 'cause the particulates are higher on a diesel?... and the VIN would come back as a gas engine?



I don't know, just wondering if anyone does?

Don't judge without first having the experience.

Mac-

I will agree with you on lift pump heaven! LOL The lift pump design on the 24 valves was pretty bad. I still like the 24 valve b/c of the simple design but it is not nearly as reliable and great as the old 12V. I feel the new 03 and newer engine in a step in the wrong direction. It might be quieter and have more factory HP but It will never be as reliable, less complex and correctly valved as a 12V. High costs to maintain it. WE can blame the EPA on the demise of the current engine in the Dodges. Just say no to diesels without a mechanical injection pump!

... some people might consider the band "Queen" to be a virus. I'd disagree... they made some good tunes.



Freddie Mercury did die of HIV, though... odd.

I would have to disagree. The V10 in my '98 blew up at 67,000 miles. They said the oil pump locked up. There are a lot of design flaws in that engine,but you'll never hear that from DODGE. There's even a website that addresses the problems of the V10. I will tell you this though,i loved the power of the V10,and it ran like hel!..... TILL IT DIED!!! #@$%!
