I don't know where you're located, but I have a 3.9 still in a 2003 truck that was wrecked just 1,000 miles after the engine was rebuilt. I'm located in Illinois.

Default Did you try the 5.9?

Hi there, I'm new and trying the same swap with a '99 Dakota 4x4 v6, the donor was a '99 Durango 4x4 360. I used the engine, harness, transmission and transfer case from the Durango and everything slid in just fine.

There's one connection that doesn't match and the engine won't start. It's a 9 pin from the Dakota body and 8 pin from the Durango harness right side front fender by the pcm. Any thoughts? Did you have a similar issue?
