Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 99 24v to 01 24v engine swap

[BillyBiggs]

thanks to the 53 block, what do i need to make this work. I have installed an 01 24v in my 99 dodge changed out pcm, but guages still dont work along with the dome lights. After changing to the correct pcm motor runs awesome. The 01 24v came out of a 6 speed my 99 is a 6 speed also. Do I need the wire harness out of a 01. Please help!

Probably the easiest way to do the swap would've been to swap you '99 injection pump & ECM to the '01 engine instead of keeping what was on the new engine . . . basically just swap out the engine & keep the rest with the truck.

You got one of those rare '99 6-speeds huh . . . that's a keeper.

thanks Vaughn ,its a shame my 99 24v took a crap at 65,000 miles. That rare 6 speed had a 5 speed flywheel in it so i fixed that problem . My family ordred the truck and i ended up buying it with 45,000 miles. I have had nothing but problems. I love the truck its black with charcoal leather. Any other suggestions on why the guages dont work.

Just a thought, Cummins forgot about the Crank Position Sensor when they changed out my 53 as the later models used the Cam Position Sensor. They had to tear the truck apart again and install the tone ring on the crank shaft then all was well.
