Donor Truck
I have a 01 Ram 2500 2 WD 5.9 v8 I would like to put a MT in. I can purchase a 97 4wd 1500 with a 360. I though I read that 1500 360's had the NV 4500 behind it.
Do I need a 2wd trans for the swap.?

Manual trans never came behind a 360 in a 1500. The lighter duty trucks got the 318. I suspect that one has been swapped in.
Have a look at the trans, if the bell housing is part of the trans case, NV3500. If it bolts on, NV4500.

Auction description was wrong. They saw a transfer case lever on the floor. Thanks. 3B7HF13Z4VG779021. Heads up to forum members who are looking for a donor 4wd truck near D.C. Thanks.
