OK, I have a few questions here. I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 ext. cab. with the V10. and Auto trans. It is emaciate, with only 103XXX mi on the whole truck. I have had it since 2007 or so. Win I bought it I was really looking for a diesel rig. but at the time they were still over 10k and I got this one for only 6k. Ben using only for towing my race car to the track in the summers. (hence the low mi.) Well it's a grate truck but the fuel MPG, SUCKS!! So just about 3 weeks ago I found the exact same truck, color and all accept it's the Cummings with a 5 speed. It only has 160k on it, but it's a bit of a beater. The add sed "needs TLC" well that turned out to be a understatement!! I knew from the get go it needed a heater core and brake work (probably bad brake booster) My plan was to strip out the nasty ratty interior, pull the dash, and heater/AC unit to replace the leaking heater core. Well apparently the heater core has been leaking along time, cuz I found allot of RUST every wair in the cab. The door hinges are shot, bed is beat to crap, front end is kinda wrecked and so on. My plan was to switch out the bad parts form the diesel one , and replace them with the better parts off the gas rig. Well as I dig deeper into the diesel unit, I am discovering a tun of work!!!!!
My queston is would it just be easier to swap the motor and trans from the diesel rig to the V10 gas rig??????? And if so is there a link on how to do it and what all needs to be swapped?????

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
