Hey everyone I hope someone can help me out I am buying a 94 ram 1500 5.9 from a buddy for parts and trying to swap the engine from that truck to my 98 1500 5.9. is it a simple plug and play or what problems would I run into? Thanks for help

I believe the '94 5.9 motor has an EGR valve on it. You will need to swap the intake manifold from the '98 5.9 motor over to the '94 motor at a minimum. In addition, some of the sensors on the intake on the '94 are in different locations vs. the '98 intake. While you're at it, I'd install a new timing chain and gear set while the motor is out and easily accessible. Also, check to ensure the oil pans are the same, too.
