yes the info should be in this thread, it should also be in my sig/info but i cant edit any of it, lol... every time i try to edit it, i get some sort of server error and it redirects me to the df main page. ive tried several times over the last month or so.

its a 94 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 96 motor trans and ecu. started as a 5.2 auto and is now a 5.9 manual. i cannot tell u specifics on the swap because i didnt do it, but i can tell u the 96 harness was used and although its a 5 speed its running on an auto ecu.

Well, bottom line is, it was running before. So deal with getting the o2 out first. Because none of those codes are going to cause your issue.

One thing I'd like to know however. Pull the engine oil dipstick and see if it is at the right level. Also smell it and see if it smells like gas.

id say it smells a little like gas, and if anything the level is a little low but i just put in cheap oil after the heads so i could try to get the goo out. i have good oil that will be going in after i can warm the engine to temp

Yea, they must be pretty fresh so easy I guess. This cat thing needs to be eliminated.
