Yep, I finally got tired of wanting to bash my head in every night trying to get this 5.2 swap in my 2000 to work correctly. I sold the truck as it sat, and bought a different one.

My new truck is a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport club cab 4x4 4.7Liter. 67k miles on it, loaded and is in pristine condition.

Im just glad to be done with the whole thing. The swap it self was simple, but the electical problems make me regret doing it everyday.

But im in the clear now.

 

pix?...

 

+1... On this forum our policy is: Pics or it didn't happen.

 

too bad you gave up the 318 swap was just kicking you.

 

its always the electrical. I hate electrical $hit lol.

Sweet truck, same as mine except maybe the trans? auto or stick? You will love it.

And yeah pics asap.

 

perhaps i spoke too soon... :/ I got excited and made the post before any transactions were complete. The guy couldnt come up with the second half of my money for my truck, so i took the truck back and gave him his money. (A friend of mine)

Secondly I found out my insurance for the new truck would be over 2000$ a year so I said F that. And the dealer misquoted me for the 2002. We had it worked out to be 7K out the door, and he called me today and said it was a mistake that it should be 10k. I was clearly upset by this so I told him no thanks.

Anyway, Im back with the 2000.

I had an idea on how to fix it, varsis i sent you a pm with some questions.

 

get the 318 goin...just have a trusted mechanic wire it up...ull be good!!!

 

jeez whats with these high prices. 10k for the same truck I bought... I paid 7k and thats about what it is worth.

Good luck with the 318 man.
