Question Wiring issues

Does anyone have a copy of a wiring diagram for an '01 RAM. I swapped out my 3.9 for a 5.9 in my Dakota, But I don't have any gauges. The truck runs, but I'm pretty sure that the wiring is a little different from the RAM to the Dak. Any help is appreciated. I am using the RAM's ECM.

Yes, just the three pin-outs for the engine control harness. Some of the wires on the RAM harness were different from my Dakota. Would like to match them up to get my gauges working, and get rid of the "no bus" on the odometer.

Thanks again Derek2002, I am trying to find the wires that go to the dashboard, or whatever the computer sends to the dash. I have no gauges at all. I have the Haynes manual for the Dakota, but it looks different from what you have. And there seems to be a lot of connections missing from what you sent for me. I am definitely thankful for what you sent, I just don't know what I need to ask for...

OK, I found the info I needed... however I don't think the two computers are compatible. The wiring is just too different between the two trucks. Several sensors for the Dakota (like the electric fan) are not even an option on a Ram. Does any one have a 5.9l computer for a Dakota? I will post that question as a thread and see what happens.
