If they all get about the same gas mileage then what's the point? Since that's the case I'm happier with my 4.7

Problem is that the Hemi has almost 100 more HP than the 4.7. And if they all get the same gas mileage, what's the point?

This is a very expensive job... might as well look to replace the truck...
you can score a complete drive train + harness and ecu/pcm/tcm for around $3500.

And spend another $3,000 installing it and making it work. Might need heavier front springs. That sounds like spending $6,000-$8,000 on a $3,000 truck.

If you do it yourself.... I also think that the trans internals are different on the V6 models but I'm not 100% sure on that one.... I know the 2012-2013 models have different internals for the transmissions on the V6 vs the V8....

True. But we're also talking about a females threads here who (no offense here) likely doesn't have an engine lift, engine cradle or tilt, engine stand, air tools and everything else needed.

I've seen some kickass ladies in the garage man....so who knows... and yes $3,000 in labor for engine install is about right for a Hemi conversion from a V6....
