i would say the reason you are not finding a plug that fits the oil sensor is probably because they changed it on the newer rams which is what you got the engine out of. you will have to use the sensor that came with the truck.

Not probably, they did change it. So you are correct in any event.

Got the motor and tranny in the truck. I just have a few parts and bolts to track down. Then I can hook everything up and hope like hell it fires up. I have some more pics to post tomorrow. This is wearing me out. I'm working on it after work everyday which has made for some long 14 hr days. Hopefully I'll be done with it this weekend.

I'll have to find a pic of the broke crank. It was broken diagonally through a journal so half the crank was just pushing the other half...lol

Haven't had time to upload pics or work on it. I will be staying late after work today to work on it.
