well they did offer some 5.9L v8 2500's w/ manual trans so it should be pretty simple to do a conversion? from what ive seen though it was on the 2nd gens but same engine as i have the 'old and moldy' 360. not sure about my t-case though. did they use the same t-case on the 5.9's and 5.7 hemi's??

Looks like an NV4500 from an old 5.2 or 5.9 Ram could bolt up to an 03-05 Hemi (from a 2500). Must be 2006 was the first year for the beast Mercedes G56 in the heavy dutys.

 

I beg to differ. I have V8 and manual trans. Unless you mean for model year 2009. I think there are no V8 powered trucks with a manual for 2009.

 

i jsut went to all the dealerships trying to trade my dodge in to get my wifes name off of it and i couldnt find a V8 truck with a manual tranny...in the new trucks that is.
