Thank you to who-ever suggested I go to www.Spalding auto parts.They not only have the biggest junk yard I've ever seen,but they tried to help instead of telling me what a Dum *** I am for trying something that won't work."like everyone else does".
My wiring harness should be here some time today.It's raining here in S.C.-so even if it comes I won't have any updates until tomorrow. But I will.

if I attempted to do this...would I have to change my transfer case you think? are you using a flowmaster exhaust or stock or what? Ive been debating wether or not to use a hemi or go for a 4bt cummins in my 2002 qc 4x4 5.9L and am leaning towards the hemi due to being not as difficult.

Sorry,I haven't been on here in a while. If you're using a 45rfe or 545rfe Trans. It will
Bold to a Hemi and you won't have to change the transfer case.
MY Lack of Knowlage is about to make me lose it.Don't depend on help if you start your project Putting the Motor in and getting everything secure is the easy part..
When the wiring comes,It's learn as you go..

Default Help with wiring on Dakota hemi swap

Go this site: http://dakotausa.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=36320

There is a hemi installation thread with pictures into a Dakota. His is running fine now, so he can probably help you with the wiring.

Can anyone tell me where the APPS wires go to on the the computer side. I need to know which pins they go to.No-one seems to know and I can't find it online.I think I have all figured out except the PK/YL "and" YL/PK...wires.
>>>>>>>>UPDATE<<<<<<<<<<
I got my transmission lines hooked up and full of tranny fluid,Hooked up my Radiator hoses,fuel line And Heater hoses yesterday.Started the motor,She runs great.Tried reverse and drive,
it moved,but I can't give it gas until I get the throttle hooked up.
I'm trying to get someone to put pictures on here for those interested.
Thanks.....
