Hey all,
Just found your site, good info. So I have an 2000 Dakota QC AWD and I have never had any real 360 CI get up and go power. I've done a few thousand in mods and a few more in repairs - all to no real avail[:@]. Motor seems real strong still at 115K, no noises anyway and smooth acceleration. Only thing left is that AWD unit.. I have drove several stock 4x4 5.9L's and the ones with 3.92 gears ran like a bat outta hell.
So if it's not gonna be too much a pain, I am lookin to swap mine out. I'm hoping I can get one from a '97-2004 dakota or durango to be a direct replacement. I know the shift pattern is opposite as well.

Anyone have any experience or can give some advice?
Also, just to be sure, I am going to check the compression and change the plugs again before I do the swap.

Thanks alot,
2000DakotaQC
