You kinda overshot the mark with the setup you got. Had you gotten everything complete from an 03-05 hemi ram you'd be ahead of the game. But you grabbed a 4th engine setup, CAN bus computers mating up with your PCI bus truck, the '10 engine has VVT and active intake manifold, you will have to find a way to get that PCM to integrate, gonna be alot of harness hacking. All hemis come with fly by wire, if you intend to use that engine as is you will HAVE to convert the pedal. It's going to be much more difficult than an 03-05 setup. Plenty of those swaps already running around.
