Not sure why the part numbers on the injectors are different. I ran a mixed set of the original v6 injectors and some v8 injectors in mine when I first got it up and running. It ran perfectly fine. Now I'm using injectors from the same junk yard 5.9 ram I got my computer from. They were much cleaner and had no rust so I grabbed them for $50. Are you having a hard time finding used injectors or just want brand new? I could most likely find a good used set for you here. Tons of Rams in the junk yard.

my junkyard is asking 25$ for used injectors.

I can get 2 more 3.9 injectors from rockauto for 15$ a piece, or the 5.2 injectors for 25$ a piece.

I think I am just gonna bite the bullet and get 8 new injectors for a 5.2. That way i know that it will work with out running too rich or too lean.

also i am getting the same exact part number for the throttle cable from 1994-1997 Dakotas, 2.5/3.9/5.2/5.9. So i think i can just reuse the one running my v6 currently?

Try your throttle cable first. Mine was too short and held the throttle open just enough to make it idle at 3300 rpm. I ended up grabbing a cable from a v8 truck and it was about 6" longer if I remember right. Maybe there is an updated cable that works for all of them now.

As far as injectors go, do what you feel comfortable with. I ran out of cash at the end of my swap so I got by with what I had at the time.
