Hey, I had a few questions. I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab with a 5.7L Hemi. I am going to swap a 5.7 hemi out of my truck for a 2005 5.7. Reason why. Because my engine blew and my friend wrecked his 2005 dodge ram so he was gonna give me his engine with 20,000 on it. I know I am going to have to take swap the PCM and the wiring harnesses also. But will the engine fit or no? Thanks.

That not bad at all. Ive been looking for a 05 PCM and all the harnesses to do a swap in mine. Please stick around and let us know who the swap goes and what issues, if any, you have. Im curious on the VIN broadcast across the canbus system to various other modules that are programmed with your 03 VIN.

Hey, I got a response to my earlier post about the 05 hemi. Instead of putting the 05 hemi in my 03 dodge, its an 04 hemi my friend doesnt even know the year of his truck. Anyway, I was able to torch the bolts and pull the engine today. I know I need the pcm and wiring harnesses? Is this going to be a pain in the *** to get out without having to splice? Is there a section on the harnesses and pcm where there are quick disconnects? Thank you.
