Hey guys, I need some help I have a 04 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L 4x4 with a 8ft long bed. Piston 6 blew up and did a new motor swap . I ordered a new 5.7l crate redesigned motor from Powertrain products , I swapped all sensors and ordered new parts that were damaged or worn out from the old motor to put on the new motor. I got everything hooked up but I’m kinda hesitant on starting the motor since I need to build oil pressure first before I start it up . I need help on what’s the best way to build up oil pressure on my new motor without starting it first , and will my motor start up or will I need to reset my Computer to make it work with the new motor? I appreciate your time to read and help me thank you

 

Disable the fuel pump, or coils, and crank the engine to build oil pressure.

Will it start? Don't know.

 

If its pretty dry, you may want to try this method...

 

I did a hemi swap not to long ago in a 06 jeep commander….I just started it, let her rattle for the 5-6 seconds and it was good, built oil psi quickly
