Default 1999 5.2 to 2001 5.9 engine swap

I recently swapped out my 5.2 gas for a 5.9 gas I got from LKQ. I did the harmonic balancer weight adjustment. I did not change the crankshaft damper.

It still has the original PCM. I got a 5.9 PCM from the junkyard, but after 15 minutes it threw a check engine light.

Just looking for advice on what I should do to make sure everything runs good in the long run.

I tried the dodge speedometer code method. There was no code. I assumed the computer was trying to locate equipment that the 5.2 didn’t have.
