Here we go again....
Check your donor truck again, hemi was not available until mid year 03. If you actually have an 02 with a hemi in it then it was installed and is not factory, which means that harness has been royally screwed with. You can't just drop a 5.7 in place of a 4.7 and everything magically works.
